Process Overview
This deployment uses a YASKAWA GP180 to palletize boxes of hanger products weighing over 20 kg onto pallets. By replacing manual handling in heavy-payload work, it helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders and enables faster, more consistent palletizing performance.
Note: Cost may vary depending on the installation environment, robot brand, and payload requirements.
Components
| Robot | YASKAWA GP180 Horizontal reach: 2,702 mm Repeatability: ±0.2 mm |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | Communication / control: Choose one (PC control or PLC control) Robot mounting base: within 1,200 mm (height) Box gripper: designed for 10–20 kg class (suction + gripper type) Belt conveyor: 1,300 × 220 × 640 mm (for infeed and outfeed) Touch screen: 12" Safety fence: 12 m (includes safety S/W) |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Boxes are conveyed in and aligned |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | The robot picks the box |
| STEP 3. | The robot palletizes (stacks) the box onto the pallet |
| STEP 4. | (Optional) Box taping and wrapping process. |

Yuhan-Kimberly’s Choice: Fully Automated Depalletizing + Strap Cutting📦
Process Overview This deployment was implemented at Yuhan-Kimberly's Chungju Plant, delivering an integrated solution that combines a Yaskawa industrial robot with a strapping-cut workbench to automate depalletizing + strap cutting. The customer pursued a depalletizing system to reduce labor costs and operator fatigue, and showed strong interest in automating strap cutting and strap discharge to further maximize cost savings and operational efficiency. The solution handles mixed carton sizes by aligning (squaring) cartons, cutting and removing straps, and then feeding cartons into the case packer. This improves throughput and consistency in both carton infeed and strap removal, while reducing physical strain on operators and enhancing workplace safety. Project Background and Objectives At Yuhan-Kimberly's Chungju Plant, cartons arriving on pallets were previously broken down manually and then loaded one-by-one into the case packer. The work was highly repetitive, and manual strap removal using knives created a persistent risk of safety incidents. The objective of this project was to minimize reliance on manual labor by automating the entire process—from depalletizing through case packer infeed—and to achieve lights-out (unmanned) operation for strap cutting. This enables improved operator safety, reduced fatigue and staffing burden on the floor, and more stable, repeatable plant operations.
Smart Palletizing Using the Hyundai Robotics HH050 and Mech-Mind 3D Vision 🦾🤖
Process Overview This palletizing automation solution uses the Hyundai Robotics HH050 and Mech-Mind 3D vision to detect mixed-size boxes, align them by size, and automatically stack them onto pallets. By leveraging a cost-effective 3D vision system, the cell can reliably palletize even when cartons of varying dimensions are mixed in the flow, ensuring stable operation.
