Abstract
Despite the existence of automatic palletizing machines, manual palletizing is still not uncommon. There are several reasons:
-
Flexibility: the equipment can not easily be moved; must be reset for various size cartons; and can not alternate between two lines simultaneously.
-
Space requirements and the necessity for special conveyors.
-
High cost, especially if the equipment may not be used permanently or continuously.
