RAPTOR: Precision Robotic Picking for Beverage Distribution

KPI’s RAPTOR system delivers high-speed, accurate robotic picking designed for beverage cases. Built for demanding environments, RAPTOR automates repetitive tasks, reduces labor strain, and ensures consistent throughput. Whether handling mixed SKUs or heavy cases, RAPTOR optimizes efficiency while maintaining product integrity, perfect for beverage distributors seeking scalable automation.

Why Automate Palletizing and Depalletizing?

Manual palletizing and depalletizing represent significant bottlenecks and cost centers within most operations. These tasks are labor-intensive, repetitive, and prone to error and injury, making them prime targets for automation.

By implementing robotic solutions, companies gain:

  • Higher Throughput: Robots achieve superior speed and consistency, maintaining output across shifts and product mixes.
  • Reduced Labor Dependency: This will free up scarce labor for higher-value work and reduce recruiting, training, and retention challenges.
  • Improved Accuracy and Quality: Eliminate errors, reduce product damage, and enhance stacking precision.
  • Enhanced Worker Safety: Minimize ergonomic risk by removing people from repetitive, heavy-lifting roles.
  • Scalability and Agility: Quickly adjust to new SKUs, packaging types, and order volumes without major reconfiguration.

NūMove Robotic Palletizing Solutions

NūMove’s robotic palletizers are engineered for flexibility, reliability, and performance across industries — including food and beverage, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.

Core Capabilities:

  • High-Speed, Multi-SKU Performance: Efficiently handle diverse product types and stacking patterns in real time.
  • Versatile Grippers: Customizable end-of-arm tools adapt to cartons, cases, shrink-wrapped bundles, and bags, supporting a wide product portfolio.
  • Quick Setup, Seamless Updates: NūMove’s intuitive wizard streamlines product setup, no programming required. For mixed palletizing, pattern generation happens automatically.
  • Compact, Scalable Designs: Fit seamlessly into existing layouts while enabling future expansion.
  • Maximized Uptime: Industrial-grade equipment backed by robust support minimizes downtime risk.

NūMove Robotic Depalletizing Solutions

On the inbound side, NūMove’s depalletizing systems bring the same level of innovation and reliability, tackling one of the most labor-intensive tasks in any warehouse or manufacturing operation.

Core Capabilities:

  • Vision-Enhanced Robotics: 2D/3D vision systems recognize product position and orientation, enabling the robot to handle shifting or irregular loads.
  • Mixed SKU Layering: Ideal for layer-based mixed palletizers, NūMove efficiently handles multi-product layers with varying shapes, sizes, and barcodes. (Note: Not applicable to depalletizers.)
  • Gentle Product Handling: Engineered grippers carefully handle delicate or fragile items, minimizing damage and returns.
  • Scalable Architecture: Configure systems for current needs and expand as operational demands grow.

For engineering leaders, this means deploying a flexible solution that integrates seamlessly into existing material flow. For the C-suite, it delivers predictable performance and clear ROI.
