With the increase of variation in shipped parcels, automation solutions throughout the supplychain need to be able to handle an increasing level of ranges of object dimensions. Where traditional mixed-size stacking systems are able to re-arrange the sequence of the packages that need to be picked and packed, processes nowadays are not suitable for these kind of solutions. For the process-situation where there is a small footprint, a constant stream of unknown parcels with varying dimensions without the possibility to see what other parcels will arrive in the future, a new approach to stack and pack these parcels has to be taken.

With On The Fly mixed stacking and packing, a very powerfull AI decides for each parcel and/or object how it needs to be pickup up and where it needs to be placed down; all happening while the object is ‘On-The-Fly’ by a handling system. There is no need to know what the next package looks like. The Viroteq platform AI is develop to be optimized to handle On The Fly stacking and packing processes and provides a solution to efficiently automate the physically heavy, repetitive, and monotonous stacking and packing processes throughout the logistic supply chain.
