DEPAL - Depalletising

Automated pallet layer singulation

The DEPAL module from Cellumation brings high-performance automation to depalletising operations. Designed to process full pallet layers without manual intervention, DEPAL uses advanced vision technology to align, orient, and gap items for downstream handling. It achieves this without requiring setup changes between varying pallet patterns.

Thanks to its intelligent control system and compact footprint, DEPAL handles diverse product types, patterns, and layers in real time. With Robson Handling Technology as your delivery partner, DEPAL can be integrated seamlessly into your material handling system to streamline layer-by-layer unloading, reduce downtime, and increase consistency across your supply chain.

As your trusted integration partner, Robson Handling Technology can integrate Cellumation solutions into an existing system or a completely new system.

DEPAL Benefits

Handles any pallet type

Efficiently separates and processes a wide range of palletised goods with no special preparation required.

Dynamic pattern recognition

Advanced 3D camera system identifies and adapts to pallet layer patterns on the fly, with no manual setup needed.

Compact and scalable

A small footprint makes DEPAL ideal for retrofitting into existing systems or scaling up capacity within limited space.

Intuitive control and remote support

Graphical User Interface (GUI), optional HMI, and full remote service options make operation simple and efficient.

Modular design for long-term performance

Built using robust, modular components for easy maintenance, upgrades, and integration into new or existing systems

Smart orientation and gapping

Ensures precise product positioning and spacing for the next stage of automation, sorting for up to 3 outputs for further processing.

Smart depalletising with zero pattern setup

DEPAL is optimised for pallet layer singulation across any pallet type. It uses 3D vision to recognise pallet patterns dynamically, align and orient items with precision, and transfer them smoothly into the flow. This is all achieved without the need to stop or reconfigure for different arrangements. Combined with a graphical user interface and optional remote support tools, DEPAL enables continuous operation and maximum flexibility.

As a delivery partner of Cellumation, Robson Handling Technology integrates DEPAL modules into end-to-end systems that support high-throughput logistics, warehouse, and fulfilment operations.
