Pallet Designer — palletizing configurator for integrators

Pallet Designer pays for itself on the first project

For an integrator, Pallet Designer's value comes from two measurable sources: fewer hours from your engineering team on every machine, plus a solid line item in your quote for the end customer that you sell without writing a single line of your own code

Savings per project 19–84h That many engineering hours stay in your margin on a typical deployment — without compromising quality
Value of saved hours 0.8 – 3.5k EUR Estimated savings at an internal rate of ~40 EUR/h. Across three machines a year — up to 10k EUR
Added line item in your quote €5k–€25k+ That's how much you add to the machine quote for the end-customer configurator — from standard deployments to large projects. The profit stays with you

Your engineering team works faster and with more confidence

19–84 h saved on a typical project
≈ 760 – 3 360 EUR at an internal rate of 40 EUR/h
  • 3–12 h Mechanical design and feasibility analysis

    The designer picks the gripper and checks layout feasibility on a live preview. The app shows immediately whether the chosen gripper size and type allows the planned drop-offs, whether there are collisions, and how many items can be picked at once. Decisions that used to require drawing variants, analysis and manual recalculation now take minutes

  • 3–16 h PLC and HMI programming

    No more handwriting recipes for every new layout. You load the data generated by the app and the machine immediately knows what to do. Once integrated into your PLC/HMI/robot setup, it becomes a ready building block for every following project. The operator gets a visual preview of the layer from images generated by the app — no extra programmer effort

  • 5–24 h Robot programming and preparation

    The robotics engineer gets ready-made data: product, layer and drop-off parameters and pick data in a consistent format — used in production and easily loaded into a simulator without manually generating layouts. After teaching points and programming logic and gripper, the rest of the pick, place and interlayer data is generated by the app. A consistent data-exchange methodology and validation of moves and machine settings inside the app let you trust the algorithm and focus on next steps instead of analysing each layout separately. You can pick drop-offs manually — if you know reach will be tight, choose a different gripper orientation or define a virtual zone the algorithm avoids. You stay in full control — Pallet Designer provides data, not decisions

  • 8–32 h Testing and on-site commissioning

    The strongest savings line. After deployment you physically test only the first layout — robot points, gripper, positions relative to the product. From that moment every next layout generated in the app simply works — because everything is produced in the same system, on the same station parameters. No building test scenarios, no waiting for product samples, no manually arranging products or layers just to test a case

  • days → min Modifications and new layouts after go-live

    Customer asks for a tweak or a new variant? You open the layout in the app, create or move what's needed, generate, send or upload — three minutes of work. Every change is visible in the graphic interface, so there's no “I tweaked it the wrong way” risk. Based on machine parameters the program will only generate valid layer and pallet data. No manual position recalculation, no digging through recipe files. Each new variant can be safely created in minutes and sold at a higher margin with no need for an on-site visit

Those hours stay in the integrator's margin. The end customer doesn't see them — they only see a machine that starts faster and runs more reliably. It also translates into faster project delivery and helps you finish on schedule

A ready configurator in your quote — the margin stays with you

A ready, proven product instead of your own R&D project
A configurator tested in production, with maintenance and ongoing development — no risk of it not working out
  • offer Configurator inside the machine quote

    End customers want flexibility — they want to add new layouts without calling the integrator for every flavour, packaging or pattern change. Pallet Designer delivers that as a ready, proven feature. You can include it as an extra line in the machine quote — with measurable value for the customer (flexibility, independence, shorter time-to-market)

  • minutes New layout post go-live — no extra on-site visit

    Even if the customer didn't buy the configurator — when they call asking for a new pallet pattern, preparing it on your side takes minutes instead of hours or days. You send files online. How much you charge for that job is your pricing policy. Margin grows because your cost drops to a minimum

  • 30 s Layout PDF — ready collateral for the customer

    You design the layout in the app, click “generate PDF” and you get a finished document: layer visualisations, technical parameters, full pallet description. No CAD drawing, no screenshots, no Excel stitching. A standard format you can email or attach to a quote — looks professional, takes zero effort

  • demo Show specifics, not promises — during the customer meeting

    Customer asks “can the machine handle our 12 SKUs?”, “will it fit on a EUR pallet?”, “what about a new box we’ll have next year?”. Instead of “let me check and get back to you next week” — you open Pallet Designer, enter their format, their pallet, their products and show a live 3D layout. The customer leaves the meeting with specifics, not a promise. Sales cycle shortens, trust grows

The end-customer configurator isn't a cost — it's a €5k–€25k added line item in the machine quote. The customer gets autonomy, you increase profit from a stronger quote

Pallet Designer pays back on the first project — through the engineering hours saved and an additional €5k–€25k added to the quote for the end customer. Book a 20-minute call to calculate it for your scenario
