Depal-Webinar

Webinar: Wednesday - June 17, 2026 @ 2:00 PM ET

 

Discover how Depal AI within the Motoman NEXT ecosystem is helping warehouses automate complex pallet unloading with AI-driven flexibility, less programming, and reduced downtime.

 
 

This webinar will explain the current market landscape, the need for industrial AI in the logistics and distribution sectors, and most importantly, introduce a software-defined, intelligent approach to unloading pallets using the brand-new Motoman NEXT ecosystem called “Depal AI.”

Pain Points/Key Takeaways:

  • Unstacking Deformed/Shifting Pallets: Pallets arrive with mixed SKUs, shifting layers, crushed corrugate boxes, and glossy or shrink-wrapped packaging. Traditional robots blind-registering fixed templates throw constant errors here, forcing human operators to step into the cell to manually reset the system.

  • The Skills Gap in Logistics: Warehouse operators don't have degrees in advanced robotics programming. Warehouses need automation that can be managed by the existing workforce on the floor without requiring a dedicated software engineer on standby.

  • The Automation Programming Bottleneck: Whenever a new product size or packaging graphic is introduced, traditional vision systems require an automation engineer to sit down, program a new template, and manually teach the robot new path waypoints. This causes expensive operational downtime.

Who Should Attend:

  • Logistics and Order Fulfillment

  • E-commerce and Retail Distribution

  • Food and Beverage Wholesale Distribution

Industry Facts:

  • The AI Logistics Boom: The global market for Artificial Intelligence in logistics reached $26.33 billion. Driven aggressively by e-commerce expansion, it is projected to explode to $180.63 billion, growing at an astronomical Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 47%.

  • The Warehouse Labor & Turnover Crisis: The primary driver behind automated depalletizing is a lack of available human labor to do heavy and repetitive lifting.

  • AI is a Top Corporate Priority: Executive mindsets have completely shifted toward smart technology. Currently, 64% of supply chain leaders prioritize AI and Generative AI capabilities as a critical or very important factor when evaluating and purchasing new technologies for their operations.
