From our customers

"I've worked with UR and Kuka and all these other robots and found your robots to be very slick...I have never seen any other robot of this particular size and character perform this very well."

“After working with your robot at the TMMI facility I have setup a call with a factory in Denver for a 12 robot opportunity - I never thought robots would become so easy to use.”

"We've had a UR robot which wasn't ever easy to program even for our operators that know code, but our operator who doesn't know code was able to set up Standard Bots in a day.”

FAQ

How long does it take to install a palletizing robot from delivery to full production?

Installing a palletizing robot typically takes only a few days when the layout, gripper, and patterns are finalized in advance. Plan one on-site day for placement and wiring, then run patterns and sign off after sample SKUs prove cycle time.

What can I do to prepare my facility for a palletizing robot?

Preparing your facility for a palletizing robot means marking pallet positions, verifying infeed height and clearance, confirming power and network runs, and designating a safety zone. Review our implementation considerations to lock patterns, cycle targets, and changeover steps.

What product types can Standard Bots’ palletizer accommodate?

Standard Bots’ palletizer accommodates corrugated boxes, shrink-wrapped bundles, trays, and small totes. With the right gripper, it also handles vented or glossy surfaces. Provide dimensions, weights, and porosity to finalize the end effector.

What industries do palletizing cobots best serve?

Palletizing cobots best serve food & beverage, consumer goods, pharma, cosmetics, electronics, and 3PLs that need frequent changeovers, ergonomic relief, and predictable stacking at the end of the line.

How do I choose the best robot for my palletizing automation needs?

The best robot for palletizing automation is chosen by matching payload, reach, case size, and pallet height to your line. Confirm required cycles per minute with your heaviest SKU and pattern. If you run mixed cases, prioritize vision and quick re-teach.

What does palletizing mean?

Palletizing means stacking products, usually boxed cases, onto a pallet in a defined pattern for storage or shipping. For examples and common patterns, see our guide on what palletized means.

Where is the Core robot made?

Core is designed and built in the USA and assembled in Glen Cove, New York.

How does the free remote consultation work?

Our goal is to increase the likelihood of your success with our robot. We start with a 45 minute meeting to review videos of your task and discuss solutions. We may recommend a free engineering analysis, the results of which we’ll include in your quote. There is no charge for any of this.

What accessories does the Core robot support?

Core integrates directly with conveyors, linear actuators, vertical lifts, safety devices and much more - with easy or no wiring. This includes electrical and mechanical compatibility with the most popular robot end effector ecosystems. Core works great with products from OnRobot, Schunk, Robotic, Piab, Schmaltz, ATI, and more.

What makes Standard Bots so affordable?

We design all of our own hardware and software with the mission of making automation accessible to everyone. Our first principles approach to designing our own parts allows us to dramatically reduce costs while also making the most capable and performant robot in its class.

How long does the set up process take?

Shop-floor operators can setup and program our robot within minutes. No understanding of code needed.

Will Standard Bots work with my existing hardware and use cases?

Core is easy to integrate into any manufacturing and machining setup and supports a wide range of uses cases including machine tending, palletizing, inspection, metrology, and more.

What are the benefits of having a camera on the robot?

Core has an integrated 3D camera on its wrist that can identify and locate parts for pickup, read machine screens (e.g. to know if the machine is running or not), or to inspect objects (coming soon).
