Case Study: High-Precision Depalletization

To optimize its warehouse operations, the Tobacco Authority of Thailand implemented Comau’s industrial robot NJ-165 equipped with a 3D vision system.

The result:

Significant reduction in manual handling
Fast, accurate depalletizing of variable box layouts
Reliable automation with minimal human intervention
Fully scalable architecture for future logistics needs

The system delivers both precision and speed, transforming a previously manual process into a fully digital, automated workflow.

How the Depalletization Solution Works

Pallets loaded with boxes are positioned—either manually or automatically—within the robot’s working range.

An advanced 3D vision system scans the entire pallet, identifying box size, shape, and location to guide the robot’s movements with precision.

A Comau NJ-165 robot executes the picking and placing operations. Designed for 6-axis handling, it offers flexibility, speed, and high payload capacity, making it ideal for demanding warehouse tasks.
