The Stoecklin CasePicker offers a completely automated solution for distribution centers serving hundreds of retail outlets, with freshness zones from 4°C to 14°C and up to 135,000 cases/day for fruit and vegetables. It features a depalletizer with intelligent control that manages a unique special gripper with a suction strip and underride plate to ensures gentle and reliable case picking. In addition, the gripper allows different returnable and disposable containers to be picked immediately after another for the first time.
The automatic system guides both single-use and reusable containers from item pallets to shop pallets in just one process cycle and without any equipment change. This removes a large number of individual labor-intensive steps and means that no costly intermediate storage is required. Thanks to the straightforward system layout, practically all container types can be processed fully automatically in a comparatively small area, within a very short time.
The new picking system for fresh goods is designed redundantly and simultaneously ensuring that the packaging and load carriers can be passed through without any damages.
- Stoecklin Logistik AG has developed a solution for automatic picking of fruit and vegetables. The automatic system guides both single-use and reusable containers from item pallets to shop pallets in just one process cycle and without any equipment change.
- Another important feature of this compact, scalable system is the combination of manageable cost and low space requirements. Practically all container types can be processed automatically in a comparatively small area, within a very short time.
- Another important feature of the depalletizer is its unique special gripper with a suction strip and underride plate to ensures gentle and reliable case picking. The gripper allows different returnable and disposable containers to be picked immediately after another for the first time. The produce cases are transported gently, ensuring that they are not set down too hard on the conveyor belt. This is particularly important for sensitive fruit and vegetables which could be bruised if set down too hard or too quickly.

Until recently, varying types of containers were a major impediment to automated depalletization and subsequent direct palletization on pallets for each specific retail outlet. Conventional automated picking systems depalletized the entire pallet and separated the contents on trays in one initial step, which took a lot of extra time and increased the opportunity for product damage and waste. The Stoecklin CasePicker addresses all of these pain points plus dramatically improves throughput performance.
TheCasePicker ensures that only the intended goods are picked directly from the produce pallet for the retail-outlet pallet which prevents unnecessary movement. In addition, the system speed depends on the order volume. This process optimization and variable utilization reduces the energy required in comparison to conventional solutions.
