PALLETIZING ROBOT - RUNPICK
For Automated Preparation of Store Deliveries.
RUNPICK, the Robotic Universal Picker, is an innovative KNAPP solution for fully automated case picking and palletizing. The one-of-a-kind palletizing robot places different types of cases and handling units onto pallets or into roll containers quickly and reliably while using a minimum of space, then secures them for transport. RUNPICK means greater efficiency, fewer personnel and ready-to-go load carriers.

More InformationA number of factors in the industry frequently push manual picking to the limits, including growing diversity in products and packaging, skilled labor shortages, new safety standards and regulations, ergonomic workplace requirements, smaller store footprints and inventories and different store structures – not to mention the increasing pressure for fast, efficient delivery.
With all that in mind, the RUNPICK palletizing robot by KNAPP is a real game changer. The full case picking system orients the units to fit the optimal packing pattern for the pallet. The units are rotated, tipped and grouped before they reach the robot, which then efficiently places them on the pallet. This multi case picking strategy allows your business to benefit from higher throughput, stable mixed pallets and maximum reliability.

How can you integrate RUNPICK? And is it the right solution for you?
RUNPICK is a robotic solution for fully automated palletizing and processing of your entire range of goods. Right now, automated full case picking technology is most in demand in two sectors:
Food wholesale
Large general retailers
RUNPICK can be flexibly integrated into existing logistics concepts, whether for classic delivery to stores or for omnichannel models. It’s usually combined with the Evo Shuttle for storage and retrieval and KiSoft Pack Master for packing pattern calculation, creating an efficient, scalable solution that can adapt to different requirements and sales channels – while offering maximum flexibility.


More than just a robot.
The technology leader in mixed case palletizing.
RUNPICK is a picking and palletizing robot system based on one intelligent principle: Load units are stored in the Evo Shuttle and retrieved in the optimal order. Meanwhile, KiSoft Pack Master calculates the perfect packing pattern in advance so that RUNPICK knows exactly which pack units need to be placed where on the pallet or in the roll container.
Simply smart.
RUNPICK unloads up to four pack units from a tray at once and prepares them for automatic palletizing by rotating, tilting and grouping them. It can place up to six pack units at a time per cycle. The packing pattern is calculated based on customer order data and optimized for stability, density, shipping and store-friendliness.

FAQs - Many functions, many questions.
RUNPICK is ideal for all different types of goods and packaging types, whether cartons, trays, or items wrapped in plastic wrap or shrink film. It also handles delicate grocery items such as dry goods, fresh foods and frozen foods with ease.
Mixed case palletizing refers to the process of placing different pack units and cases – such as differently sized cartons – together onto one load carrier, like a pallet or a roll container. Based on the calculated packing pattern, RUNPICK places these different pack units at the same time, during the same cycle.
Yes, it can. Two different types of slip sheets are available in a magazine. Depending on your requirements, it’s refilled manually or fully automatically.
Light curtains and camera systems check the size and the position of each item on the conveyor. If there are any deviations, RUNPICK intervenes automatically, ensuring maximum process reliability.
Yes. Thanks to RUNPICK’s modular construction, it can be integrated easily into traditional solutions for store delivery or omnichannel models while remaining scalable and expandable to meet future demands. The system is typically implemented with a combination of the Evo Shuttle, KiSoft Pack Master and the palletizing robot itself.
