Lines stop when materials don't arrive, so skilled operators leave their machines to fetch pallets, cages and trolleys. It's the most common hidden cost we see on factory floors.
The robot runs the milk-run from stores to each line and between work cells, on a fixed route with set stops. A keypad or call box at the line lets operators call it or send it to a different station.

EP examples: an automotive plant feeds chassis parts to robot lines and collects the empty stillages. Another site moves mesh cages around 500 m across halls to an intermediate store.
This job is step 2 and 3 of the seven pallet transport steps we see on most sites. Tap the others to see what else can be automated.
Step 1 of 7
The job
Unloaded pallets taken from the dock to staging, block stacks or the racking.
How the robot does it
Operator lifts at the dock, presses go; the robot drops in rows with column loading and returns.

Step 2 of 7
The job
Raw materials and parts delivered from stores to each line, when they are needed.
How the robot does it
A fixed milk-run with stops at each line. A call box at the line calls the truck.

Production line feeding: see how we automate it →
Step 3 of 7
The job
Work in progress moved between machines, cells and halls.
How the robot does it
Short repeat loops; a keypad on the truck picks the next destination.

Production line feeding: see how we automate it →
Step 4 of 7
The job
Finished pallets taken off the line to the warehouse or buffer.
How the robot does it
The robot collects at the end of the line and drops in the buffer, around the clock with a spare battery.

End of line: see how we automate it →
Step 5 of 7
The job
Pallets between palletiser, wrapper, roller beds and sorters.
How the robot does it
The XPMM lifts to 1 m to load and unload roller beds and conveyors.
Machines we'd suggest
End of line: see how we automate it →
Step 6 of 7
The job
Pallets staged in outbound lanes, or straight from inbound to outbound doors.
How the robot does it
Long-run robots carry two pallets per trip; destinations by keypad or from your WMS.
Machines we'd suggest
Dispatch & cross-docking: see how we automate it →
Step 7 of 7
The job
Empties, packaging and waste cages cleared to the stack, baler or compactor.
How the robot does it
A simple loop all shift. The easiest first project.

Most of our deployments go live in around four weeks. A standard one-task set-up is installed, programmed, tested and handed over in one day, with minimal downtime for your team.
A 15-minute call about your routes, then a demo in our Navan automation centre if you want one.
We walk your site, or you send a walkthrough video and a few drawings. We map the routes worth automating.
We agree the task, the success measures and a proof of concept, and fix your install date within 48 hours of the go-ahead.
Your EP robot ships from European stock and arrives in about a week.
Installed, programmed, tested and your team trained in a day. Then Clearlift support, and more routes when you want them.
Inbound pallets taken from the dock to staging, block stacks or racking.
Finished pallets from the palletiser, wrapper, roller bed or sorter to the warehouse.
Pallets from storage or the line to outbound lanes and loading bays.
Empty pallets, packaging and waste cages taken away all shift.
Yes. Multi-stop routes and a keypad let one truck serve several stations, and call boxes let a station call it.
Pallets, cages and stillages suit the XP15. Trains of trolleys suit the XQD40T tow tractor.
One EP XP15 X-Mover starts from €25,000 plus €1,500 set-up, or €1,000 a month on hire. The entry EXP15 is from €12,000 or €500 a month. Prices are ex VAT, and we give you a fixed price after the site survey.
