Empty pallets, packaging and waste cages taken away all shift. This is the easiest place to start.

Every site makes empties, cardboard and waste, and nobody wants the job of taking them away. So stacks build up in aisles and at workstations until someone has a spare minute.
This is the easiest place to start. A robot does a fixed loop collecting empties and waste cages and dropping them at the stack, the baler or the compactor, then comes back for more.

EP examples: a site drives full containers to a carton press and returns with the empty, and retail and automotive sites move high stacks of empty pallets to storage.
This job is step 7 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.

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.

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.

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.
Raw materials and parts delivered to the line, and flow between work cells.
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.
Yes. Routes are simple, it rarely holds anything else up, and it shows your team how the robot works before you automate critical runs.
Yes, within the truck's 1,500 kg capacity. We check stack heights and closed-bottom pallets on site.
