A PALLETIZING SYSTEM AND A METHOD OF OPERATING SUCH A PALLETIZING SYSTEM

摘要

A palletizing system (200), comprising: a pallet storage (220) for accommodating a plurality of pallets (213, 214) at fixed positions, at least one robotic system (210-212) in the proximity of the fixed positions, conveying means (205, 206, 230) for conveying a flow a containers, each container containing a plurality of food items. The control system (231) is configured to: determine the order line associated with each container, determine the type of each container and the associated flow rate of that type of container, determine one single of the pallet positions to which each of the containers is to be allocated. A selection of the pallet position for each container among the plurality of pallet positions is made on the basis of the order line identifier of the container and the associated flow rate, and the at least one robotic system is instructed to arrange each container at the determined pallet position
