Solutions / Mixed-SKU Pallets

The Problem Everyone
Stops Talking About

Mixed-SKU pallet picking is where most robotic systems quietly fall apart. Automcore was built from the ground up to handle this — across your entire fleet, without per-item programming.

Mixed-SKU is the real operating environment

Real distribution centers don't run uniform pallets. They run hundreds of SKUs across complex product categories — each with different weight, surface texture, fragility, and stacking tolerance.

400+ SKU Types Trained

Automcore's grasp model library spans consumer goods, industrial components, flexible packaging, irregular shapes, and heavy items up to 15kg.

Per-SKU Confidence Scoring

Each trained SKU carries a fleet-validated confidence score. Items below threshold are flagged for additional training sessions — not silently failed mid-pick.

Seasonal SKU Changeover

When your product catalog rotates for season or promotion, Automcore handles the changeover as scheduled propagation events — not emergency reprogramming.

Stacking Order Awareness

The grasp model captures not just how to pick an item but how to sequence picks from a mixed pallet — heavier items first, fragile items handled separately, irregular shapes isolated.

The cost structure changes completely

With per-arm programming, every SKU added to your catalog multiplies across your fleet. With Automcore, SKU training cost is fixed regardless of fleet size.

Traditional Per-Arm Method

O(arms × SKUs)

8 arms × 50 new SKUs/quarter = 400 teach-in sessions. At 45 min/session: 300 hours of programming per quarter.

Automcore Fleet Learning

O(SKUs)

50 new SKUs/quarter = 50 training sessions. Fleet size is irrelevant. At 45 min/session: 37.5 hours — regardless of whether you have 4 or 40 arms.

Handling 50, 200, or 500 SKUs? Let's talk.
