Kingsbury Pallets, part of the Rotom Group, has set a new standard in the UK pallet industry with advanced technology from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS). The integration of a Multi Sorter combined with a sorter-repair line marks a significant step toward increased efficiency and automation in their processes. This investment highlights Kingsbury Pallets’ commitment to innovation and operational optimization in an increasingly complex market.
At the core of the new sorter-repair line are four inline stackers designed specifically for both block and euro pallets. What makes this line unique is its fully automated switching capability between different pallet types. This enables Kingsbury Pallets to effortlessly manage the variety of pallets typical of the UK market. The automation reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs, and enhances overall operational efficiency.
The Multi Sorter takes this automation to the next level. With an innovative T-configuration, two advanced robotic systems work together to sort pallets into 20 different categories. This not only improves sorting accuracy but also speeds up the process, allowing Kingsbury Pallets to meet customer demands more quickly and efficiently.
Kingsbury Pallets has deliberately chosen a modular design that can easily adapt to their unique operational needs. The Multi Sorter is fully integrated with PSS standard machines, ensuring seamless compatibility. This modular system enables efficient handling of diverse sorting challenges, providing Kingsbury Pallets with the flexibility to expand or adapt their systems to future market demands without compromising speed or precision.
The integration of the SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) allows Kingsbury Pallets to closely monitor their processes. This advanced system provides detailed insights into pallet flows for both sorting and repair. Real-time data analysis enables the management team to quickly address bottlenecks and make informed decisions to further improve operational performance. This capability strengthens Kingsbury Pallets’ ability to continually optimize their workflow and deliver better service to customers.
At PSS, innovation is key to delivering solutions that not only enhance efficiency but also support sustainable operations. The new sorter-repair line at Kingsbury Pallets is designed to minimize waste and promote the reuse of pallets. By optimizing resource usage and processes, this technology supports a forward-looking approach to pallet management.
With the Multi Sorter and sorter-repair line, Kingsbury Pallets has gained a powerful tool to strengthen their position in the UK pallet market. The combination of advanced automation, flexible systems, and data-driven decision-making equips the company to tackle future challenges and maintain the highest industry standards.
