Block One Pallet Factory™ Always-On, Unmanned Automation
Our customers are conquering SKU complexity, overcoming labor shortages, and locking in predictable warehouse performance. All while we solve the complex problem of mixed SKU palletization.

The Pallet Factory™ at work:
Achieving the first ever unmanned shift, no humans present for 8 hours of picking and replenishment. Three RoboArm modules now run in parallel while four ACR modules feed case picks. Balanced picking across stations, giving redundancy and steady output without a single hand on deck.

WHEN IT ALL BEGAN
2012
Since 2012, Block One's Pallet Factory has delivered cutting-edge automation for beverage warehouses—beer, wine, and spirits. With dozens of distributor implementations, our systems include labelless sortation, QA vision, and high-throughput automation designed for the unique challenges of beverage distribution.
More Pallet Factory™ Robots Go Live
2024
Savannah Distributing (Atlanta, GA) deployed their first RoboArm, while Clark Distributing (KY) installed two RoboArms to boost palletization. ACR systems launched at FEB Distributing and Capital City Beverage in Mississippi, marking a major step toward automated case handling.
The Pallet Factory Evolves
2025
Del Papa Distributing in Texas completes the first unmanned shifts. Savannah Distributing expands their use of our Dense Storage solution. King Beverage in Washington adds two RoboArms to support high-volume case picking.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Moving Forward
Block One customers are on the cusp of realizing the lights-out warehouse—an operation where robotic systems handle every case, pallet, and task with precision. It’s end-to-end automation done so well, the warehouse can run with the lights off.
