More than handling end-of-line solutions, we manage entire ecosystems

The newest PA15 is a scalable, modular solution and the centerpiece of operational pallet logistics. It was created to meet the evolving demands of today’s logistics landscape, focusing on efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability. 

Designed to be both flexible and ecosystem-ready, the PA15 supports businesses in increasing output and adjusting production lines without the need for significant reconfiguration.

This article explores the benefits and unique features of the PA15 as discussed by Griefahn and Lambeck, highlighting how it addresses key challenges in the logistics sector.

1. Flexible Design for Any Space

Griefahn and Lambeck emphasized how the PA15’s slimline structure addresses a common issue: limited space in logistics facilities. Unlike traditional, bulky palletizers, the PA15 is designed to fit into existing production environments, even where space is at a premium. This adaptability allows seamless installation, saving valuable floor space while ensuring full compatibility with the production flow.

2. High-Efficiency Performance with a Sustainability Edge

Sustainability is increasingly a critical consideration for businesses, and the PA15 offers a solution through its energy-efficient design. As Griefahn noted, the PA15 has minimal reliance on compressed air, a traditionally costly and energy-intensive resource. This energy-efficient approach not only reduces operating costs but also supports the need for environmentally responsible solutions. Additionally, gentle product handling minimizes waste, reflecting Körber’s commitment to sustainability.

3. Scalable and Future-Proof 

One of the standout features of the PA15 is its scalability. Griefahn and Lambeck highlighted its modular design, which allows companies to start with a basic model and expand as needed. With the ability to palletize up to ten layers per minute in its highest configuration, the PA15 can be easily upgraded to accommodate increased output or new product requirements, making it a long-term investment that evolves alongside a business.

4. Industry 4.0 Ready for Digital Transformation

Aligned with Körber’s focus on digitalization, the PA15 is fully Industry 4.0 compatible, allowing real-time tracking, remote monitoring, and integration with other automated systems. Lambeck emphasized how this digital readiness enables companies to optimize logistics processes, gather critical data, and enhance productivity through an interconnected logistics network.

5. A Core Component in an Integrated Ecosystem

Beyond individual features, the PA15 plays a pivotal role in Körber’s broader logistics ecosystem. Griefahn described how the PA15, like other Körber solutions, is designed with an understanding of the entire production flow, making it easy to integrate with existing packaging and logistics systems. This holistic approach allows the PA15 to not only excel in its role but also enhance the efficiency of upstream and downstream processes. 

The PA15 layer palletizer is a prime example of Körber’s customer-focused innovation, designed to meet modern logistics challenges and future-proof operations. By offering a scalable, sustainable, and adaptable solution, Körber enables businesses to navigate today’s demands and optimize for the future.
