Warehouse Automation Solutions

Today’s Warehouses Aren’t Defined by Volume Alone – They’re Defined by Variability.

From mixed SKUs and unpredictable order streams to constant pressure on throughput, traditional automation falls short. Yaskawa Motoman delivers fully integrated warehouse automation solutions combining robotics, intelligent software, and advanced vision to optimize how products move from inbound to outbound.

Yaskawa Systems are Built for Real-World Operations:

  • Handle mixed products and dynamic order flows

  • Maintain high throughput without sacrificing accuracy

  • Integrate with WMS, conveyors, and existing infrastructure

  • Scale from single applications to full-facility automation

  • Reduce reliance on manual, repetitive labor

Infinite flexibility for warehouse automation.

PackMaster

High-Performance Mixed-SKU Palletizing

At the core of Yaskawa’s warehouse automation offering is PackMaster—a robotic palletizing system that combines intelligent software, motion planning, and vision technology to optimize mixed-SKU pallet builds in real time.

Designed for high-throughput environments, PackMaster creates densely packed, stable outbound pallets while maintaining the flexibility required for constantly changing order profiles.

With the ability to achieve 800–1,200 cases per hour, PackMaster delivers the speed and consistency needed to keep pace with modern fulfillment demands.

Built for Performance

  • High-speed mixed-SKU palletizing with consistent output

  • Integrated vision + motion planning for optimized case placement

  • Dense, stable pallet builds for reduced damage and better cube utilization

  • Scalable architecture—from manual to fully automated systems

Layer Picking

Unlock High-Volume Throughput

Yaskawa’s layer picking solution is designed to move product at scale—handling full layers of cases in a single motion to dramatically increase throughput and reduce manual handling.

Capable of introducing up to 130 single-SKU layers into downstream processes such as descrambling and conveyance, this solution ensures a continuous, high-speed flow of product through your operation.

By automating one of the most labor-intensive steps in warehouse operations, layer picking improves consistency, reduces strain on workers, and enables higher system-wide efficiency.

Built for Throughput

  • High-speed layer handling for large-volume operations

  • Seamless integration with conveyors and downstream systems

  • Reduced labor dependency and improved ergonomics

  • Reliable, repeatable material flow

Case Packing

Flexible Automation for Changing Demands

Yaskawa’s case packing solutions bring flexibility and precision to packaging operations—handling a wide range of products, packaging types, and configurations within a single, integrated system.

Designed for real-world variability, these systems combine robotic picking, intelligent motion control, and vision guidance to ensure accurate placement and consistent packing performance.

Built for Real-World Adaptability

  • Flexible pick-and-pack capabilities

  • Support for cartons, bags, bottles, and more

  • Multi-process integration (erect, pack, close, palletize)

  • Rapid changeover between product types
