How Palletizing Automation Helps Modernize Brownfield Facilities Without Major Disruption
Many manufacturers are operating in facilities that were built decades ago — long before today’s automation demands, labor challenges, or SKU complexity existed.
These brownfield facilities are often productive and profitable, but they come with real constraints: tight layouts, legacy equipment, limited ceiling height, and little tolerance for downtime. For operations leaders, this raises an important question:
How do you modernize palletizing without rebuilding the plant?
Fixed vs. Mobile Palletizing: Which Is Right for Your Operation?
As palletizing becomes a higher priority for manufacturers facing labor shortages, safety concerns, and increasing production complexity, one key question comes up again and again:
Should palletizing automation be fixed — or mobile?
The Hidden Cost of Manual Palletizing (and How Mobile Automation Fixes It)
Most facilities know manual palletizing is physically demanding work.
But what often gets overlooked are the hidden costs — the expenses that quietly eat into margins, reduce output, and strain both teams and budgets.
And when you add them up, the true impact is far bigger than most plants realize.
