Manual product feeding of raw materials from bags is physically demanding, error-prone and, especially when handling critical or sensitive raw materials, a hazard for both the product and the operator. For this reason, we have developed a system that performs this task for you fully automatically. For efficient, constant production and the highest product quality:

AZO's automatic bag depalletizing system.


Our system - your advantages

Precise 3D camera system:
An integrated 3D camera system detects the positions of the bags on the pallet. By combining image analysis and spatial recognition, exact coordinates for gripping movements are determined.

Artificial Intelligence (AI):
Our solution uses AI-powered software to interpret the captured data. This allows even complex patterns and variations to be recognized and processed.

Vacuum gripping technology:
The vacuum gripper,lifts the bags detected by the AI system from the pallet onto the SE25Ex bag discharger. Via an infeed slide, the bags are moved into the vacuumed housing, cut open, erected and emptied.

Automatic detection of intermediate layers:
Our solution not only detects the top layer of the bags, but also takes into account inserted intermediate layers. These are detected by the intelligent camera system and placed on a separate deposit pile by the vacuum gripper.

Manual training of the system:
If a bag is not detected, the operator can manually intervene and train the AI system. This enables continuous optimization of the detection capability.
