CKF Systems are delighted to introduce the new palletising solution developed
by Qimarox for logistics operations where palletising goods from containers
happens frequently. The Qimarox Highrunner HR9 is the only solution in the
market that comes complete with a unique pattern generator allowing the
system to stack boxes of almost any size on pallets at high speed without
specially trained technicians generating a fresh pallet pattern for each new
product.
CKF Systems is the sole Silver Partner for Qimarox in the UK and has a wealth of experience
integrating Qimarox product lifts and layer palletisers. This case study
https://youtu.be/7IIAZVB3KPU provides information on CKF’s recent layer palletising
installation for Laithwaites wine.
The manual unloading of ‘loose loaded’ containers is physically demanding, time-consuming
and unattractive work. The removal process from the containers one by one and then
manually stacked onto pallets, can lead to damaged packaging and goods if stacked
carelessly or dropped.
Investment in the automation of the palletising process will provide companies the solution
necessary to meet the increasing demands of the global supply chain to empty containers
more efficiently and improve the working environment for personnel.

Smart pattern generator with 3D scanner
CKF Systems design and build the conveyor systems supporting the Highrunner HR9
palletiser and integrate a 3D case product scanner which automatically captures the
contours and dimensions of the cartons. The data forms the input for the pattern generator
which calculates multiple stacking patterns based on that information, this is then displayed
to an operator highlighting the preferred pattern. The pattern is selected to offer the best
stability, pallet utilisation and speed of case handling. Once selected the pattern can be
saved into memory against that product and recalled, as required automatically, on
recognising the product barcode. This process no longer requires highly trained and
experienced technicians or callouts from specialist programmers each time a new product is
received.
