Palletizing applications can vary significantly, from simple single-row product handling to multi-row and full-layer palletizing operations. As palletizing requirements become more complex, the design of the end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) becomes increasingly important. The right head tool must securely handle products, maintain throughput targets, and adapt to varying case sizes, weights, and pallet patterns without compromising reliability.

While advanced EOATs can solve challenging automation requirements, overly complex tooling can introduce issues such as increased maintenance, longer changeover times, higher costs, and reduced system reliability. That's why our engineering team focuses on finding the right balance between functionality and simplicity. Whether you need a proven vacuum head for single-case picking, a multi-pick solution for higher throughput, or a custom layer-gripping tool, we develop EOATs that maximize performance, efficiency, and uptime while keeping your operation running smoothly. Is your current palletizing head tool optimized for your application, or is unnecessary complexity limiting your system's potential?

At the 2026 PMMI: The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies Annual Meeting in Montreal, Canada, Mohamed Linebou discussed the potential impact of GLP-1 medications on the packaging industry and the equipment used to support it. According to Linebou, as many as 25% of Americans could be using GLP-1 medications in the future, a trend driven in part by efforts to address the nation's obesity epidemic and changing consumer eating habits.

As portion sizes and nutritional priorities evolve, Linebou suggested that packaging can play a key role by clearly communicating portion sizes, protein content, and consumer-friendly nutritional information. These features can help consumers make more informed decisions and better manage their dietary goals. As a result, the packaging equipment would need to be built in order to accommodate these new trends.

However, an important question remains. As inflation continues to drive up the cost of groceries and everyday household items, will smaller portion sizes also result in lower prices for consumers, or will costs continue to rise?
What are your thoughts? Should packaging do more to support healthier lifestyles, and how do you think changing portion sizes will affect consumer expectations and food costs?

One palletizer serving two or more production lines—or one palletizer per line?

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. The right solution depends on your operation, production goals, and long-term strategy. While a single system can potentially reduce initial capital investment, dedicated systems provide redundancy—keeping production running if one line experiences downtime.

When evaluating your options, consider questions like:
• Can one system efficiently handle multiple product types and pallet patterns?
• Do products need to be sorted or palletized in different locations?
• How will the system prioritize between lines when production rates vary or one line outpaces the other?
• What level of uptime and flexibility does your operation require?

The best palletizing solution isn't simply the least expensive—it's the one that delivers the greatest value over the life of your operation.

At Conveyor & Automation Technologies, we help manufacturers evaluate these tradeoffs to design palletizing systems that maximize throughput, productivity, and return on investment.

What factors have driven your palletizing decisions?

When does automating your process make sense?
One of the biggest questions in manufacturing is:
“Is this process really worth automating?”
The answer? It depends.
Good automation starts with a real problem:
🔹 Labor shortages
🔹 Repetitive manual tasks
🔹 Quality or consistency issues
🔹 Safety concerns
🔹 Capacity and throughput limitations
🔹 Excessive downtime or manual intervention

The conversation shouldn't start with:
“What robot can we put here?”
It should start with:
“What is this process costing you today?”

Sometimes the answer is a conveyor modification. Sometimes it's a machine upgrade, robotics, or a combination.

The goal isn't to automate everything.
It's to find the right solution that creates real value.

If you have a process that's labor-intensive, repetitive, inconsistent, or struggling to keep up, it may be time to take a closer look at automation.

Every successful automation system has a story.

What you're seeing in this video is the journey from initial programming and debugging to a fully commissioned robot system running in production. The first clips capture the early stages—where we're testing motion, validating logic, and fine-tuning every detail. This is where problems are identified, solved, and performance is optimized.

The final clips show the completed system after installation, running smoothly and exactly as intended. Automation isn't about getting it perfect on the first try. It's about applying engineering expertise, persistence, and continuous improvement to deliver a reliable solution for the customer.

This behind-the-scenes process is what turns a concept into a dependable production system. That's the part of automation most people never get to see.

Proud of the team's work on this project and the results we achieved.
