Loading and Stacking Robots

Smart Automation for Precise and Efficient Stacking

In today’s industrial environments—with their complex production and logistics workflows—automated stacking of products and components has become indispensable. By using automatic loading and stacking robots, materials can be handled efficiently and precisely. Rotte delivers the technical solutions. Our industrial robots for stacking, loading, and unloading are already optimizing production workflows in many companies, reducing error rates, and automating manual tasks. Especially in industries with high volumes or delicate components, precise stacking ensures gentle handling and secure storage.

Application Areas for Our Stacking Robots

Automated stacking offers significant benefits across a wide range of industries—particularly where high volumes, varied product types, and demanding storage logistics are involved.
In distribution and logistics centers, our robots enable fast, safe stacking of cartons, parcels, and pallets—streamlining shipping and warehouse operations.
In the automotive and mechanical engineering industries, our intelligent systems accurately position and stack metal parts, castings, or delicate components for seamless downstream processing.
In the food industry, fast, hygienic, and efficient stacking is essential. Our robots handle packaging safely and ensure contamination-free palletizing for transport.
In the construction and wood industries, they stack and store large panels, beams, or precast parts with precision—minimizing storage and handling costs while improving supply chain efficiency.

Production example

Automated Stacking and Sorting – Precision and Efficiency with Robotics

Robot	Fanuc M710iC/45M
Product	Rubber mats shrink-wrapped in film in stacks
Pre-process	Cutting with shrink tunnel
Product provision	Roller conveyor with centring
Product size (LxWxH)	flexible min: 250 x 250 x 2 mm \| max: 1200 x 660 x 40 mm
Gripper	Suction pads in several sizes with quick-change system
Cycle time	approx. 20 seconds (due to the pre-process)

Automated Stacking and Sorting – Precision and Efficiency with Robotics

Rotte develops customised systems, machines and robot solutions that are characterised by state-of-the-art image processing, flexible gripper systems and intelligent control technology. Our systems detect and analyse the exact position, shape and orientation of objects, thus ensuring error-free, stable and space-saving stacking. The technical systems used for this are of course also available for our sorting and picking solutions.

Fully automated stacking and unstacking of products, cartons, or pallets significantly increases operational efficiency. Unlike manual stacking, which can be error-prone, time-consuming, and physically demanding, our robots execute each step safely, continuously, and at high speed.

Ihre wichtigsten Vorteile:

Accelerated material flow through fast, precise stacking
Relieved personnel by automating repetitive and heavy lifting tasks
Efficient space utilization thanks to compact designs with large operating ranges
Increased process reliability with intelligent vision preventing misplacement

Advanced Technology for Maximum Productivity and Flexibility

Our stacking robots combine cutting-edge vision technology, high-performance grippers, and precision control systems to ensure reliable and efficient stacking operations.

2D and 3D Vision Systems for Smart Object Recognition

A core element of our stacking robots is advanced vision technology that enables accurate recognition and analysis of items to be stacked. Equipped with 2D or 3D cameras and sensors, our systems use intelligent algorithms to calculate optimal stacking patterns.

These AI-supported camera systems ensure accurate stacking—even in dynamic or chaotic environments.

Divers Gripping Systems for Varied Materials

Choosing the right gripper is critical for precise, damage-free stacking. Our stacking robots are equipped with adaptable gripping tools.

Thanks to automatic tool changing, our robots can handle various materials within a single system—boosting flexibility and overall efficiency in manufacturing and logistics.

Smart Control Systems and Seamless Integration

Our stacking robots feature smart control systems that dynamically adapt to changing product requirements. With modular software, they can be synchronized with conveyors and feeder systems, connected to warehouse management (WMS) or ERP systems, and integrated with automated palletizing and packaging systems.
This allows full process integration tailored to your needs and ensures a smooth, fully automated material flow.
