ITW Warehouse Automation has upgraded its VTP Palletizers and VPS software to enable pallet patterns to be changed in real-time without stoppage. The upgrade also enables the VTP Palletizers to operate up to 40% faster than they were previously able.
Users can input package sizes and the number of cases on a pallet, and the software builds patterns in the graphical user interface. It will display the cases on the computer screen that lets a user arrange them as necessary and assign a pallet to start a particular pattern without interruption.
With the upgrade, VPS software is also able to communicate to the robotic VTP Palletizers and comes with web-based, video viewing and remote monitoring.
Former VSD Editor James Carroll joined the team 2013. Carroll covered machine vision and imaging from numerous angles, including application stories, industry news, market updates, and new products. In addition to writing and editing articles, Carroll managed the Innovators Awards program and webcasts.
