Automation isn't just for the big guys anymore.
For many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), rising labor costs, difficulty hiring, and the wear and tear of manual palletizing are everyday challenges. That’s why more business owners are turning to cobot palletizing solutions—compact, affordable, and easy-to-deploy automation designed to work right alongside your team.

Real Results from Small Business Operations
A Local Food Packaging Company Reduces Labor Strain
A small food producer with fewer than 50 employees was facing high turnover in their warehouse due to the repetitive nature of manual palletizing. By investing in a collaborative robot to handle stacking at the end of the line, they eliminated the need for one physically demanding position per shift.Impact: Reduced workplace injuries, reallocated team members to more skilled tasks, and saw ROI in just 10 months.
Custom Manufacturer Increases Throughput Without Hiring
A family-run manufacturer needed to fulfill growing orders but didn’t have the space—or the budget—to hire more workers. After integrating a cobot palletizer, they were able to run longer hours with the same team.Impact: Increased productivity by over 20% without expanding their footprint or staff.
Contract Packaging Business Gains Flexibility
A small contract packager with multiple short-run jobs found that a cobot system could be reprogrammed in minutes to handle different box sizes and stacking patterns.Impact: Cut changeover time dramatically and offered better service to their clients with tight deadlines.
