Clevertech in partnership with WSR Solutions, revolutionising modern distribution

Clevertech Group, leader in the design and production of industrial automation systems, has signed a partnership agreement with WSR Solutions for the use of its mixed palletizing technology on end-of-line systems manufactured by Clevertech.

WSR Solutions is a Dutch company focused on developing innovative handling technologies. The company has developed innovative EOAT grippers and other robotic case handling technologies for the creation of mixed pallets, which is aimed at the global market.  Its IPS – Intelligent Palletizing Software – is integrated into the overall handling system and manages the entire sequencing and mixed palletization process.

Thanks to this partnership, Clevertech will be able to offer its clients, multinational manufacturers across all sectors of goods, the possibility of mixed palletizing.

This innovation has the potential to redefine the world of distribution: currently, manufacturers of consumer goods make use of logistics distribution centres for the creation of mixed pallets, which are then sent on to supermarkets and large-scale retail outlets.
