Multi-Product Simultaneous Depalletizing

Containers stacked in multiple layers on conveyors are heavy and tall, making it difficult for operators to respond quickly while ensuring safety and efficiency. Traditionally, handling was only feasible when boxes were of uniform size, but in environments where various sizes and shapes are mixed, automation has been challenging.
HD Hyundai Robotics has addressed this issue by introducing a robot automation system powered by 3D scanning technology. This solution detects size variations of each box in real time and enables robots to safely and precisely depalletize products from pallets. As a result, operator workload is reduced, error-free handling is achieved, and a high-speed, high-precision automated process is realized.
The system goes beyond simple palletizing by supporting diverse size adaptability and enabling stable 24-hour unmanned operation, thereby improving productivity and enhancing the working environment. Through these advanced technologies, HD Hyundai Robotics strengthens competitiveness in logistics and manufacturing and leads the era of smart automation.

Key Feature

Key Advantages of HD Hyundai Robotics

  • 3D Scanner

    The 3D scanner mounted on the top stand continuously detects the arrangement, height, size, and position of containers on the conveyor in real time and converts this information into precise coordinate data for the robot. Using high-speed computation algorithms, the scanner calculates the optimal handling path and gripping points, enabling the robot to process containers of various dimensions without error. This technology allows for full automation, ensuring real-time adaptability even when container sizes vary, while minimizing operator intervention. The robot selects the best path based on scanner data to prevent collisions and errors, and the seamless integration of scanning, analysis, and operation significantly reduces cycle time. Additionally, by eliminating the need for workers to manually handle heavy containers, the system reduces industrial safety risks and provides flexibility to manage pallets and containers of different sizes and shapes on the same line.

  • Multi-Handling Gripper

    Another key feature of this process is the robot tool designed to efficiently handle 2x3 arrangements. The gripper is capable of simultaneously picking up two containers, dramatically reducing cycle time compared to single gripping operations. It is engineered to accommodate containers of varying heights, ensuring precise handling even in environments with uneven stacking or loading variations. This capability greatly improves process efficiency and productivity while delivering high flexibility for multi-product and heavy-load operations.

Solution

Mixed Palletizing

Mixed Palletizing is an advanced automation technology that enables the mixed loading of boxes or containers of different sizes, shapes, and weights onto a single pallet. Traditional palletizing systems were designed for uniform-sized boxes, but in modern logistics and manufacturing environments where diverse products coexist, flexible handling capability is essential.

 

01

3D Scanner

3D vision scanning utilizes high-resolution cameras and laser sensors to detect the shape, size, position, and height of objects on the conveyor in real time, converting this information into precise coordinate data for the robot. Based on depth data, it provides the optimal gripping position and angle, and when combined with AI algorithms, it enables collision-free path planning even in irregular arrangements. This technology allows automatic handling of non-uniform products, achieves full automation without operator intervention, and ensures error-free handling for consistent quality.

 

02

Multi-Gripping Robot Control

Multi-gripping robot control is a technology designed to allow a single robot to simultaneously grip two or more products, enabling efficient handling of complex loading patterns such as 2x3 arrangements. The system uses individual sensor feedback to securely grip products of varying heights and automatically adjusts the gripper position to accommodate different sizes. This capability significantly reduces cycle time, maximizes productivity, improves process efficiency, and ensures stable operation even in multi-product and heavy-load environments.
