Depalletizing & Dosing Solutions

Southlake Automation is an industrial automation and robotics integrator specializing in robotic depalletizing and precision dosing systems. We design and integrate custom solutions that improve efficiency, accuracy, and workplace safety across manufacturing and batching operations. Each system is engineered for the specific application, material, and operating environment to ensure reliable, consistent performance.

Robotic Depalletizing Systems for Automated Material Handling  

Automated depalletizing is often the first step toward stabilizing production flow. Southlake Automation designs robotic depalletizing cells that safely and efficiently remove products from pallets and deliver them to downstream equipment. 

Our depalletizing systems are commonly used to handle bags, cases, cartons, and bulk containers in high-throughput environments. 

What Our Depalletizing Systems Deliver 

  • Automated removal of products using industrial robots 

  • Consistent material flow into conveyors, processing, or packaging lines 

  • Reduced manual labor and ergonomic risk 

  • Reliable handling of uniform or mixed pallet configurations 

  • Integration with vision systems, conveyors, and safety guarding 

By replacing manual unloading with robotic depalletizing, manufacturers improve uptime, reduce labor strain, and create more predictable production schedules. 

Precision Dosing Systems for Industrial Processes  

Dosing automation requires a different level of control, focused on accuracy, repeatability, and material consistency, to ensure the accurate distribution of materials. Southlake Automation designs PLC-controlled dosing systems that accurately measure and dispense materials for downstream processing or packaging. 

Our dosing solutions are engineered for powders, granules, liquids, and bulk materials where precise quantities directly impact product quality and cost control. 

What Our Dosing Systems Provide 

  • Accurate, repeatable dosing with tight tolerances 

  • Controlled material flow for consistent batch or continuous processes

  • Reduced product giveaway and material waste 

  • Integration with weighing systems, mixers, fillers, and packaging equipment 

  • Robust controls designed for industrial environments 

Automated dosing helps manufacturers maintain quality standards while improving efficiency and process repeatability.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Automated depalletizing uses industrial robots or automation equipment to remove products from pallets and transfer them to conveyors or processing equipment without manual lifting. 

Depalletizing is typically automated when manual unloading limits throughput, creates safety risks, or causes inconsistent production flow. 

Industrial dosing systems can include volumetric, gravimetric, or loss-in-weight designs, depending on material characteristics and accuracy requirements. 

Yes. Southlake Automation specializes in integrating new automation with existing conveyors, controls, and packaging equipment.
