Chances are, the last time you shopped at a supermarket, you passed by a display pallet – likely stacked by human hands. But that’s quickly changing. Manual palletizing of display pallets, once the standard, is becoming a thing of the past –
and Pally is an important participant in making automation a reality.

For a long time, display pallets have been a challenge for automation. Their unique sizes and the complexity of handling multiple products have made it difficult to apply traditional palletizing solutions.
However, technological advancements are transforming what was once a tough task into an automated process, increasing speed, precision, and efficiency.
“Traditionally, display pallets were manually assembled because most production lines are built to handle only standard-sized EU pallets,” says Lasse Erlandsen, Sales and Robot Product Manager at Kameleon Gruppen.
Another complication is that display pallets often contain a mix of two to five different products. Overcoming this requires collaboration between marketing teams, cardboard suppliers, customers, and software developers.
“There are many challenges with display pallets, but we intend to solve them,” says Erlandsen.
The Shift to Automation
Their work automating canned corn display pallets showcases the power of automation in what used to be a labor-heavy process.
Previously, these pallets were built in warehouses. This is a time-consuming, physically demanding task involving excessive bending and lifting. Automating this process has resulted in cleaner, more visually appealing pallets, reducing cardboard waste and minimizing the need for extra packaging materials.
