SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 25, 2025 – Sidel, a global leader in packaging solutions, is setting a new benchmark in the palletizing market with the launch of its RoboAccess_Pal S—an innovative robotic palletizer designed to meet the evolving needs of Food, Home, and Personal Care brand owners. Now available through an intuitive online configurator, users can generate a tailor-made layout and Return on Investment in just a few clicks.
Bold innovation in compact palletizing
Merging the best of robotics and cobotics
Brand owners operating low to medium-speed packaging lines often find themselves at a crossroads between the flexibility of cobotics and the performance of traditional robotic systems. While cobotic solutions offer simplicity and safety, they can hit limitations in speed and payload. On the other hand, high-performing robotic palletizers can require more space and present longer ROI timelines.
With RoboAccess_Pal S, Sidel bridges the gap—bringing together the compact footprint and ease-of-use of cobotics with the performance and payload capacity of advanced robotics. This unique hybrid approach delivers strong results in tight production environments.
Compact, high-performance, and future-ready
Efficiency without compromise
Built on more than 50 years of palletizing expertise and over 5,000 installations worldwide—including 1,100 robotic and 140 cobotic systems—RoboAccess_Pal S is a game-changer in the segment. The new solution delivers high-speed palletizing with reduced space requirements and remarkable operability.
Key benefits of RoboAccess_Pal S include:
- Ultra-compact footprint: Less than 12m² for 2 pallet stations and under 8m² for a single pallet station.
- Impressive speed and payload: Operates at up to 12 cycles per minute and handles payloads of up to 25kg.
- Ease of integration: Designed for seamless implementation in facilities with limited floor space.
Customer success story: Beiersdorf’s smooth transition
A solution built for modern production lines
Angel Meza, Project Manager at the Beiersdorf plant in Argentona, Spain, shares the company’s positive experience implementing RoboAccess_Pal S:
"We were looking for an affordable palletizer that would fit into the narrow area we used for manual palletizing. Cobotic units without guarding do not meet our internal safety standards and we also wanted a futureproof solution that could handle payload and speed increases in the event of line upgrades. That's why we chose Sidel's combination of robotics and cobotics."
"Sidel’s RoboAccess_Pal S robotic palletizer was perfect for us as it has a great performance/footprint ratio as well as being equipped with guards that can be folded if it needs to be moved to another line. Five months after its installation, our team is very happy with the solution as it is simple and user-friendly. That’s why we are studying the acquisition of further units!"
