Stack it once, stack it right.

One cell takes cases straight off your line and builds stable pallets around the clock. Change the pattern from the screen and the robot re-plans its own motions.

Every item in the tote, picked and packed.

The picker works at your AutoStore port or goods-to-person station. It recognises what is in the tote, checks each item against the order and packs it.

Mixed pallets, box by box.

The cell reads a pallet of cases it has never seen, picks each box safely and builds or breaks down the load. When a box shifts, it recovers and continues.

What the robot sees

Every cell runs the same perception stack. It finds the items in front of it, checks them against the order, and fixes its own mistakes before anyone has to walk over.

Finding items. Each outline is one pick candidate; the ring marks the grasp the planner chose.

Three cells, one way of working

Each cell is built for one job in the warehouse. Underneath they share the same perception, planning and recovery software, so what we learn in one shows up in all three.

Single-SKU palletizing

Cases arrive from the line; pallets leave for the truck.

The cell picks cases straight from the outfeed conveyor and builds the pattern you choose, layer after layer. Change product or pattern from the screen; the cell re-plans its own motions and keeps the cycle time.

  • Production outfeed lines and end-of-line packing
  • Cases, trays and shrink-wrapped bundles
  • Pattern editor on the cell's own screen
  • Runs unattended through the night shift

Item picking

The tote comes to the robot; the order leaves in the carton.

The picker stands at your AutoStore port or goods-to-person station. Cameras look into every tote, the model outlines each item and picks the best grasp, and every picked item is checked against the order line before it goes into the carton.

  • AutoStore ports and goods-to-person stations
  • Consumer goods, electronics, pharma, apparel in polybags
  • Order accuracy checked at every pick
  • Hands over to an operator only for the rare exception

Mixed-SKU (de)palletizing

Pallets of mixed cases, built or broken down.

Inbound, the cell unstacks mixed pallets box by box without a pallet plan; it sizes each box as it sees it. Outbound, it builds stable mixed pallets for store delivery and decides where each box goes as the orders come in.

  • Inbound receiving and outbound store orders
  • Box sizes and weights that are not known in advance
  • Stability checked while the pallet is being built
  • Shifted or leaning boxes handled on the spot

One platform underneath

We write the software ourselves, from the vision models to the motion planner to the screen the operator uses. That is what lets a cell keep running when the real world does not match the plan.

Perception
Item detection and grasp ranking trained on warehouse goods, working on items the model has never seen.
Item matching
Every pick is compared with the order line on size, weight, appearance and barcode. Wrong items never leave the cell.
Motion planning
Collision-free paths planned live for every pick and place, so a new tote, carton or pallet layout needs no reprogramming.
Error recovery
Failed grasps, drops and shifted loads are detected and resolved by the cell itself. Operators see what happened and why.
Integration
Connects to your WMS or warehouse control system for orders and confirmations; supports AutoStore ports, conveyors and pallet handling equipment.
Monitoring
Live status, pick rates and exception history for every cell, on site and remotely for our support engineers.

Who we are

Smart Robotics is a robotics and software company based in the Netherlands. We design the cell, write the software and support it on your warehouse floor.

Our engineers come from robotics, computer vision and logistics. Most of them have stood next to a cell at 3 a.m. and that shapes how we build: robust first, then fast.
