# Parcel Mixed-Case Palletizing

Automate Parcel Mixed-Case Palletizing Operations

## Mixed-case palletizing that adapts in real time.

Build freight-ready, optimized pallets for various shipping carriers as orders arrive, automatically adjusting stack composition and stability without predefined recipes, fixed sequencing, or operational disruption.

### What's Broken Today

#### Carrier mix-ups drive rework

Manual mixed-case palletizing in grocery DCs is repetitive, physically demanding work — often performed in chilled environments. Even when staffing exists, it’s difficult to retain associates in roles that combine constant lifting with cold conditions and high pace.

#### Unstable parcel stacks create safety risk

Small, lightweight cartons mean many parcels per pallet and poor stackability. Loads shift and topple, triggering constant re-stacking—more lifting, twisting, and re-handling, especially during peak.

#### Right-sized packaging breaks patterns

With Packsize-style right-sizing, box dimensions are effectively infinite. Each pallet becomes a new 3D puzzle, so fixed patterns and traditional automation fail without frequent intervention.

### With the OmniPalletizer

Recent advances in real-time perception, decision-making, and robot motion have made a new approach possible.

Instead of forcing variability out of the system, automation can now respond to it — dynamically and continuously — as conditions change on the floor.

This shift enables palletizing systems that adapt to new orders as they arrive, without predefined recipes or perfect sequencing.

### How the OmniPalletizer Solves It

OmniPalletizer is designed for environments where every pallet is different.

It continuously:

- Observes incoming cases in real time, without relying on pre-defined order structures
- Reasons about stack stability, density and height
- Executes safe, efficient robot motions optimized for speed and reliability
- Alerts operators when it needs help with clear step-by-step instructions and a user friendly interface

### Business Impact

1. Reduced dependence on manual palletizing labor  
2. Improved safety in high-variability environments  
3. Higher throughput and reduced errors during peak and irregular demand  
4. Automation that scales with operational complexity
