Automated mixed case palletizing
ACPaQ = Automated Case Picking / Packing & SynQ
ACPaQ is a universally applicable solution for fully automated order picking of mixed case pallets based on customer requirements. SynQ software and the Load Building Manager orchestrate the process, while proven technologies such as ProMove pallet conveyors, Vectura pallet stacker cranes and CycloneCarrier shuttle systems support reliable material flow throughout the solution.
Reliable order fulfillment
Robotic order picking improves picking quality and quantity and eliminates errors through manual picking. The unique gripper supports gentle handling of different package types.
Higher efficiency and lower labor costs
Using multi-axis robotic grippers, ACPaQ can handle multiple cases per move and therefore has a higher throughput capability than any other automation provider.
Flexible and scalable design
The modular design enables growing operations to increase capacity and efficiently manage peak demand and is also designed for brownfield applications.
Fast project simulation
When the required input data is available, simulation results can be delivered in less than two weeks to accelerate project planning.
ACPaQ mixed case palletizing capabilities
RowPaQ combines a KUKA palletizing robot with a unique four-fork row gripper. The gripper can handle multiple cases, including units with different dimensions, and place the four units at different positions on the pallet.
Cases are buffered and released in the sequence required to create stable mixed case pallets and fulfill customer-specific orders.
SynQ manages the ACPaQ system, selects the cases required for order fulfillment, creates retrieval orders and activates the corresponding equipment movements.
The ACPaQ butterfly concept uses a mirrored two-wing layout for inbound and outbound streams. This balanced, modular process flow reduces congestion and processing delays, improves material flow and throughput, and enables fast operator access through shorter walking distances.
Mixed case palletizing software builds stable pallet loads in a defined sequence based on customer requirements. Palletizing can be aligned with individual store layouts to support faster, more efficient shelf replenishment.

Frequently asked questions: ACPaQ
Robotic palletizing is the automated process of stacking cases, trays, cartons, or other products onto pallets using industrial robots and intelligent software. Robotic palletizing systems improve efficiency, consistency, and workplace safety compared to manual palletizing and eliminate picking error through manual picking.
Mixed case palletizing is the process of building pallets with different product types, sizes, and SKUs arranged in an optimized sequence. ACPaQ uses intelligent software and robotic palletizing technology to create stable pallets that optimize transportation, store delivery, and shelf replenishment.
Robotic palletizing uses advanced software and robotics to automatically build pallets according to predefined rules and customer requirements. Compared to manual palletizing, robotic palletizing solutions can improve consistency, increase throughput, reduce physical labor and errors due to manual handling, and create more stable pallet loads.
ACPaQ is used by retailers, grocery distributors, beverage companies, FMCG organizations, and third-party logistics providers. These industries benefit from improved efficiency, reduced labor dependency, higher throughput, and more accurate order fulfillment. Robotic palletizing can be also applied in brownfield projects.
ACPaQ is Swisslog’s fully automated mixed case palletizing solution. ACPaQ is also offering semi-automated mixed case palletizing. It combines robotics, software and proven intralogistics technologies to create stable, store-friendly pallets.
Palletization robots automate repetitive pallet-building tasks while maintaining consistent quality and accuracy. They can improve throughput, reduce labor requirements, minimize handling errors, and support efficient store replenishment through optimized pallet designs.
