Automated palletizing was among the most popular demonstrations across MODEX 2026. Peak Technologies yesterday said it has partnered with Jacobi Robotics to offer the company’s physical AI platform for mixed-case palletizing to its supply chain automation customers.
“Mixed-case palletizing is traditionally one of the most time- and cost-intensive workflows in warehouse environments, often forcing operations teams to trade off between automation and flexibility,” said Tony Rivers, president and CEO of Peak Technologies. “Our partnership with Jacobi Robotics eliminates that constraint by providing a fully packaged solution that adapts to real-world variability without adding upstream complexity.”
Littleton, Mass.-based Peak Technologies is a leading systems integrator serving manufacturing, warehousing, travel and leisure, retail, and field service organizations. The global company said it supports technologies including RFID, machine vision, robotics, process analytics, and artificial intelligence.
Jacobi OmniPalletizer designed to be adaptive
Peak Technologies said its collaboration with Jacobi Robotics brings mixed-case palletizing to complex warehouses and distribution centers. Jacobi’s OmniPalletizer can eliminate the need for upstream buffering, sorting, and sequencing, claimed the companies.
The system uses real-time motion planning, computer vision, and self-learning AI to continuously adapt to case variables without manual programming, they added. OmniPalletizer can discerns product mix, packaging dimensions, and arrival patterns while following operational rules such as heavy-to-light prioritization or crush limits.
As a result, it can flexibly and efficiently build stable, dense and store-ready mixed-case pallets without changing upstream processes, asserted Jacobi and Peak. Onboard digital twin technology allows users to validate system performance using their own historical data, “providing clear performance insight from Day 1,” they said.
Earlier this month, Emeryville, Calif.-based Jacobi Robotics said it was integrating its software with ABB robots. FORTNA also said it was working with OmniPalletizer at MODEX 2026.
Peak provides expert support
Peak Technologies noted that its expertise in enterprise technology integration allows it to deploy the “turnkey” solution rapidly and without disruptions to active workflows. This makes Jacobi OmniPalletizer suitable for retail, grocery, beverage, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), parcel, and third-party logistics (3PL) facilities.
The company added that its systems engineering, on-site integration, and lifecycle support provides a low-risk path from manual palletizing to automation with OmniPalletizer.
