Plus One Robotics, a developer of AI-powered robotic vision for material handling, in partnership with beRobox, a specialist in modular mobile robotics, has launched DepalOne.
DepalOne is described as a “turnkey depalletizing solution designed to bring fast, flexible automation to modern warehouses without the need for facility modifications or extended downtime”.
Seen at both ProMat and Automate this spring, DepalOne combines beRobox’s portable hardware with Plus One’s AI-driven PickOne vision system to deliver an immediately deployable, fully integrated automation cell.
Leveraging the Paltz system as its foundation, the duo has incorporated the PickOne vision suite to enhance the hardware’s capabilities, creating a dynamic, flexible palletizing and depalletizing cell.
The system is built to handle real-world complexity—including mixed, rainbow, and single-SKU pallets—while offering a clear, scalable path as operations evolve.
While named for its depalletizing focus, DepalOne reflects a broader evolution: Plus One Robotics has expanded its PickOne offerings to support customers with a range of needs, from simple to complex.
With PickOne Lite, PickOne Core, and PickOne Pro, customers can now choose a streamlined, lower-cost vision option and scale up or down as their operational demands change.
Shaun Edwards, co-founder and CTO at Plus One Robotics, says: “DepalOne brings the power of our vision system to a much wider range of users, not just the most complex, high-end operations.
“For a long time, advanced robotic vision came priced at a single premium price, requiring months of customization.
“Now, operators can confidently automate using a reliable, easy-to-deploy system that handles everyday variability, like a reversed pallet, without all the headaches.”
Following growing demand for turn-key solutions, Plus One Robotics and beRobox took steps to standardize the DepalOne offering and bring it to market as a unified product.
Offering a scalable, plug-&-play system that solves labor shortages, ergonomic risks and packaging variability. This enables warehouse operators to deploy automation – within weeks – with confidence and “go live” on day one.
DepalOne helps you move beyond just mixed-SKU palletizing, with flexible configurations to support a variety of real-world automation needs:
Depalletizing Cell: Efficiently handle diverse packages and containers while seamlessly navigating production exceptions for single SKU, mixed and/or rainbow pallets.
Pal & Depal Combo Cell: Single unit for both palletizing and depalletizing—perfect for dock doors, cross-docking operations, or rapid repalletizing with a single cell.
Depal/Repal System: Complete solution for depal-to-order, relabeling, and pallet rebuilding for new store footprints, custom shipping, or updated labeling requirements, including rejection and recirculation flows.
The system delivers 500-700 packages per hour with 70-pound capacity, up to 98″ palletizing height, and nine cycles/minute with dual pallet locations.
David Demers, CEO of beRobox, says: “There’s a real need for automation that meets operators where they are—not just in terms of cost and complexity, but in how quickly they can get up and running.
“This solution is about enabling progress without disruption. When technology works out of the box and grows with you, that’s when automation really delivers.”
DepalOne is now offered in scalable tiers, with the ability to pair with a corresponding PickOne vision package so you can choose the level that best fits your operation’s needs and complexity:
Cobot: Fast-track deployment in just 4 weeks, handling up to 500 packages per hour (PPH)
Industrial Robot: Deployed in 8 weeks, delivering throughput of more than 650 PPH
Plus One Robotics continues to support integrators in developing and deploying custom depalletizing cells. These tailored solutions typically take 20 weeks to deploy but are capable of 1,000+ PPH with compatible items.
