Revolutionising End-of-Line Automation: Pallet Robot Systems by SCM Handling

In today’s fast-paced and increasingly competitive manufacturing and distribution landscape, efficiency, precision, and consistency are key. 

Manual handling is no longer a viable long-term solution for high-volume production environments; especially when scalability and cost-effectiveness are on the line. That’s where we come in. 

At SCM Handling, we specialise in advanced pallet robot systems that deliver powerful, tailored automation solutions designed to meet your end-of-line needs.

Our expertise is rooted in more than 20 years of industry experience, and we have held a high commitment to customer satisfaction and technical innovation that has remained at the core of everything we’ve done since our establishment. 

Whether you’re looking to reduce labour costs, eliminate repetitive strain injuries, or boost productivity, our robotic palletising solutions are engineered to deliver lasting value.

Experience That Speaks for Itself

At SCM Handling we are a family-owned business with an extensive legacy in automated material handling. Over the years, we’ve developed and implemented pallet robot systems across a wide range of sectors including food and beverage, agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, and more.

Our mission is simple: to design and install bespoke automation systems that improve operational efficiency while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to evolving business needs. 

From the initial consultation and design, through to installation and lifetime support, every aspect of our service is handled in-house by our expert team. This means you get seamless communication, consistent quality, and a solution that’s built specifically for you.

Intelligent Palletising Systems for Every Industry

Our flagship offering is our automated robotic palletising systems: modular, high-performance palletising solutions that integrate easily into existing production lines. Whether you’re palletising cartons, sacks, crates, trays or other pack types, our robots deliver speed, accuracy, and consistency continuously.

Key features of our systems include:

• Multi-product handling – Flexible programming allows for quick changeovers between product types.
  
• Compact footprint – Our systems are designed to optimise available space while maximising output.
  
• End-of-arm tooling – Bespoke grippers and vacuum heads to handle a wide variety of loads with care.
  
• Integrated pallet handling – Automatic pallet dispensers, slip sheet applicators and stretch wrapping can be incorporated for a fully automated cell.

Our robot cells are built using leading robotic arms from trusted brands, providing unmatched reliability and service life. Every project we deliver is tailored to your production goals; no one-size-fits-all approach.

Future-Proof Automation

At SCM Handling, our pallet robot systems are designed with longevity in mind. Thanks to modular construction and open-platform programming, our systems can be easily updated or expanded as your operations grow. 

Whether you need to handle new products, increase throughput, or incorporate more automation such as case packing or conveyor integration, we’ll support you with scalable solutions that grow with your business.

Our team also works closely with you to assess existing infrastructure and make intelligent recommendations for integration, layout optimisation, and energy-efficient operation.
