The End-of-Line Bottleneck: Overcoming Today’s Fulfillment and Manufacturing Pressures
The end-of-line process is frequently where operational momentum stalls. Facilities face growing labor shortages, demanding ergonomic safety standards, and continuous pressure for faster fulfillment cycles. Relying on manual sorting and heavy lifting limits your floor space, introduces costly packaging errors, and leaves downstream lines vulnerable to workforce fluctuations.
Furthermore, implementing traditional automation has historically introduced another operational bottleneck: custom engineering. Traditional robotic integration requires hundreds of design hours, high upfront costs, and intensive specialized training—luxuries that agile businesses simply cannot afford when trying to scale quickly.
The Ideal Fit: Comau Plug&Play Standard Cells
To eliminate these engineering constraints, Comau offers a comprehensive portfolio of modular, turnkey Automated Palletizing and Depalletizing Solutions. Engineered to transform complex material handling into a repeatable, high-precision asset, these pre-configured cells require zero custom engineering hours, enabling rapid deployment and a fast ROI.
Fit into existing production workflows within 12 weeks
Introducing Comau Standard Robotic Solutions
Versatile Configurations for Every Operational Footprint
Whether your factory floor demands the rugged, high-capacity lifting power of an industrial robot or the fence-free safety of a collaborative workspace, Comau standard cells provide a seamless, modular transition to automated production.
Comau offers eight highly standardized cell configurations designed to fit directly into existing production workflows within 12 weeks.
Industrial Palletizer Models Available
Manual & Conveyor Load – 1 or 2 Bays
Natively accommodates high-performance robotic models including the Comau N-220, NJ-40, or S13. It handles single SKU layouts with specialized vacuum grippers over a space-saving footprint of 12 m² to 16 m².
Automatic Load – 1 Bay
Features an automated line-in conveyor system to optimize continuous packaging flows without manual component positioning.
Collaborative Palletizer Models
Manual & Conveyor Load – 1 or 2 Bays
Powered by the nimble Comau MyCo-15 collaborative robot. This configuration provides an ultra-compact footprint starting at just 5 m², specifically optimized for single SKU boxes up to 10 kg payloads.
Automatic Load – 1 Bay
Natively integrates specialized pallet conveyors to combine close-proximity operator safety with continuous, automatic palette removal.

Smart Software Suite
Complex Logistics Made Code-Free
Hardware is only as efficient as the intelligence guiding it. Comau standard cells bridge the gap between advanced robotics and user-friendly operation through a specialized, intuitive software ecosystem:
- SmartLayer Pattern Configuration:
An intuitive computer or Teach Pendant X application interface that allows line operators to effortlessly input pallet and box parameters. The software generates optimized, stable palletization layer patterns automatically—completely removing manual programming dependencies.
- SmartPal Execution Engine: Runs directly on the robot controller to seamlessly manage motion profiles and execute the automated cycle based on the layer patterns built via SmartLayer.
- MI.RA Depalletizer Vision System: Comau’s cutting-edge 3D vision solution developed specifically for depalletizing lines. It maps pallet configurations accurately to allow fast, fully automated separation of both single- and mixed-SKU loads, completely independent of box size variations or random orientation shifts.
