✅ AI palletising is an advanced industrial automation technology that uses robotic arms, computer vision, machine learning, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically stack (palletise) and unload (depalletise) goods from pallets
✅ Unlike conventional robots, AI systems can handle mixed-sized boxes, irregular packaging, and damaged cartons without manual reprogramming

🔆 How Does it Work?

📍 3D Computer Vision
✅ High-resolution cameras scan packages to identify their size, shape, orientation, and condition in real time

📍 AI & Machine Learning
✅ AI algorithms calculate the best gripping points and optimise safe, stable stacking patterns

📍 Adaptive Robotic Execution
✅ Multi-axis robotic arms lift, move, stack, or unstack packages while continuously adjusting speed and grip using sensor feedback

🔆 Key Features
✅ Handles mixed SKUs with different sizes, shapes, and weights
