Block One Pallet Factory

Complete End-to-End Robotic Warehouse Automation

The Pallet Factory is Block One’s fully integrated system—combining storage, picking, replenishment, and palletizing into a fully autonomous, high-redundancy solution built for beverage distribution.

Proven, Stable & Scalable

Additional robots create system redundancy to prevent downtime and ensure consistent output. As SKU counts grow and picking becomes more complex, robots can be added to expand capacity and balance workload across multiple stations—keeping operations running smoothly at any scale.

Pallet Factory Built of Four Core Modules

The Pallet Factory runs on three integrated modules that automate the warehouse from end to end. RoboArm handles high-volume palletization for low-SKU products. ACR stages B SKUs near RoboArm to reduce travel time. ACR with dense case storage automates handling and retrieval of C SKUs. VNA robotic fork lifts manage high-density pallet storage and replenishment. Smart AI software guides modules to optimize storage, sortation and palletization.

The Path to Always-On, Lights-Out Automation

Most distributors start with RoboArm, then expand by adding modules and additional robots over time. As each layer is added, The Pallet Factory evolves — from targeted automation to a fully autonomous, 24/7 operation.

RoboArm – High-Volume Palletization
Automates high-volume, A-SKU case picking and palletization. Picks 350 cases per hour per module.
$350K installed & ERP-integrated
Case ACR – B&C SKU Buffer
Robots optimize the storage and retrieval of C-SKUs from racks. Stores 1K–10K SKUs, picking at 150 cases per hour.
$840K installed & ERP-integrated
VNA + Autonomous Forklifts
Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) autonomous forklifts enable high-density pallet storage by navigating tight aisles with precision. From dock to storage, the system delivers hands-free, space-maximized pallet handling

Let's talk automation

We’re here to make it easy to understand and even easier to implement.

Powered by PREDICTABILITY

Your Warehouse, Without Guesswork

We take the heavy lifting out of heavy lifting. No more worrying about labor shortages, picking errors, or delays.

No more labor risk – Robots don’t quit, call in sick, or slow down.
No more costly mistakes – Software catches human errors before they impact operations.
No more wasted time – Consistent, scalable output, every shift, every case.

"Don’t just build a better warehouse. Build a better business."

Understand autoamtion

You should begin implementing modules as soon as possible. If you’re on the sidelines you’re losing your ability to scale with demand and new SKUs.  Labor is a problem, seasonality is a problem, raising SKU count is a problem, storage is a problem.  All these can be solved with the Block One Pallet Factory™.

Installation can be as fast as three weeks for our RoboArm palletizing module.

Implementations for our first module are $350K installed & ERP-integrated. Add more modules to handle more SKUs and complexity.

Goods-to-Robot means products are retrieved by robots and delivered directly to robots for palletization. Instead of human workers or conveyors bringing cases to a person, the entire process is automated.

Traditionally, warehouse workers walked the aisles, pulling products from different addresses and stacking pallets as they went. This process is slow, labor-heavy, and inefficient compared to optimized robotic systems.

Goods-to-Robot reduces floor congestion, removes wasted travel, optimizes routing through AI, and eliminates manual labor from palletization—saving time, money, and space.

AI powered smart software detects issues (damaged case, location mismatch) and self-corrects (reassigns, reroutes, resequences) without halting the flow.
