How IQ Provides Manufacturers with a Faster, More Predictable Path to a Running Palletizing Cell

Successfully deploying a robotic palletizing solution has always depended on having the right information at the right time. Product data, production environment specifics, space constraints, and financial objectives all play a critical role. When any of this information is missing or inaccurate, the result is often project delays, additional costs, and unnecessary redesigns.

Designed to eliminate these challenges, Robotiq's IQ platform captures, organizes, and analyzes all key project data, automatically generating a validated palletizing cell design based on the actual conditions of your production environment.

Fit Check: Determine Automation Readiness in Minutes

The first step within IQ is Fit Check—a rapid assessment tool that helps determine whether a specific application is a good candidate for automation.

Within minutes, Fit Check evaluates:

Production volumes
Labor availability and workforce challenges
Packaging types
Key space constraints
Expected return on investment

This initial assessment enables manufacturers to quickly identify high-potential projects and focus resources where automation will deliver the greatest impact.

Simulate Your Palletizing Cell Before Installation

Once project data has been entered, IQ generates a detailed simulation of the future palletizing cell within the actual production environment.

The simulation validates:

Throughput and cycle time
Robot reach and payload capacity
Pallet configuration
Conveyor layout
Multi-SKU handling capabilities

By identifying potential issues before equipment delivery and installation, manufacturers can significantly reduce implementation risks and avoid costly modifications later in the project.

The result is a fully validated project package that includes:

A visual representation of the automated cell
A customized technical report
A preliminary ROI analysis

Soltec's Role in Your Automation Project

One of the most common causes of delays in automation projects is incomplete or inaccurate information gathered during the early stages.

As a certified partner and official Robotiq distributor in Bulgaria, Soltec works closely with customers throughout the entire process—from the initial assessment to commissioning and production startup.

Voice Capture: Ensuring No Critical Detail Is Missed

During technical meetings and consultations, all key project parameters are documented and structured in real time, including:

Production requirements
Site constraints
Potential risks
Business objectives and expectations

This ensures that every critical detail is incorporated directly into the cell design process.

3D Scanning of the Production Environment

Using advanced LiDAR technology, the production environment can be digitally captured quickly and accurately.

During a single site visit, the following can be recorded:

Facility dimensions
Obstacles and obstructions
Conveyor locations
Available floor space
Process areas

This approach minimizes errors associated with manual measurements and reduces the need for additional site visits.

File Capture: Leverage Existing Data

IQ enables direct import of information from:

Spreadsheets
Product databases
Photos of existing pallet patterns
Technical documentation

This reduces the risk of human error and significantly accelerates the engineering process.

Financial Justification Based on Real Data

The integrated ROI calculator analyzes:

Labor costs
Number of shifts
Production volumes
Product diversity
Expected operational savings

As a result, manufacturers receive a clear and realistic estimate of investment payback before the project even begins.
