Advanced Robotic Palletizing for the Dairy Industry

Automated End-of-Line and Intralogistics Solution for Food & Beverage

Enhancing Efficiency in Dairy Production

In the food & beverage industry—especially dairy—automation is key to managing increasing throughput, ensuring quality, and reducing manual handling. At one of the most advanced dairy facilities in Poland, Comau’s robotic technology plays a leading role in delivering a fully automated system for product transportation, palletizing, packaging, and storage.

Seamless integration between robotic palletizing and warehouse systems
Pallet and raw material handling for both trays and buckets
Complete system management for smooth product flow
Optimized space utilization with mezzanine observation points

This fully integrated system improves efficiency, reduces manual handling, and ensures continuous, automated product flow in a demanding dairy production environment.

Advanced Robotic Palletizing & Intralogistics for the Dairy Industry

This video presents the fully automated palletizing and logistics system powered by Comau robots, designed to manage high-speed operations in a dairy production environment.

With three independent robotic cells equipped with Comau PAL 260 and NJ 165 robots, the solution handles yoghurt trays, raw material buckets, pallets, and spacers with speed, precision, and reliability.

From pallet replacement to part flow management, the system ensures maximum throughput, minimal downtime, and a highly coordinated process.

Case Study: End-to-End Automation in Dairy Logistics

AtAt the OSM Kalisz facility, Comau implemented one of the most advanced examples of robotic end-of-line and warehouse automation in the Polish dairy sector.

  • Three robotic cells manage the full flow of yoghurt trays and raw material buckets
  • Comau PAL 260 robots ensure stable and efficient palletizing of lighter trays
  • A Comau NJ 165 robot handles heavier buckets with 6-axis flexibility
  • Pallet replacement stations (up to 45 europallets) allow for uninterrupted flow
  • A mezzanine-level observation area enables streamlined supervision

This fully integrated line, powered by Comau, ensures complete automation from production to storage, setting a new benchmark in food and beverage logistics.

How the Comau Robotic System Works

Multi-Zone Palletizing Setup

The palletizing area is located in a dedicated building with three independent robotic cells. Each cell handles specific product flows, including yoghurt trays and raw material buckets, delivered via conveyors

Specialized Robot Configuration
  • Comau PAL 260: 4-axis robots with reinforced fifth axis to maintain level gripper position for stable tray palletizing

  • Comau NJ 165: A 6-axis robot configured to manage heavy bucket handling with precision and repeatability

Integrated Pallet Management System

The system includes a pallet replacement station capable of holding up to 45 europallets. Pallets are automatically replaced at each cell, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

System Coordination & Supervision

The entire line is synchronized via centralized controls, ensuring that Comau robots, conveyor systems, and pallet stackers operate in perfect harmony—delivering reliable, high-speed automation across all stages of the process.
