Why attend this site visit

See palletizing in the real world 

This isn’t a showroom or a trade show demo. You’ll see a Lean Palletizing system running in a live winery environment, handling real cartons, real variability, and real production constraints.

What you’ll take away:

  • How Martin Ray integrated cobot palletizing without disrupting operations

  • How the system handles soft, inconsistent, real-world boxes

  • What deployment actually looks like — timeline, footprint, and changeover

  • Where palletizing delivers the fastest ROI in F&B facilities

This event is ideal if you:

  • Palletize manually or with aging equipment

  • Handle soft, inconsistent, or mixed-SKU cartons

  • Are short on labor or looking to improve ergonomics

  • Want a practical, low-risk automation path

Martin Ray's Story

Martin Ray Winery, a family-owned winery in Northern California, bottles and packages a diverse portfolio of wines in printed cardboard cases. Facing labor constraints and rising costs, the winery automated palletizing with a Robotiq PE20, improving operational efficiency while targeting a 1–2 year payback.

Automate or stagnate, manual palletizing is no longer viable

The ROI was a slam dunk from the beginning, from how much labor it saved. The installation process was the smoothest install of any piece of equipment I have had to experience in 28 years.

If I was to go back in time to give myself some advice, I’d say ‘Do it sooner.’ Sure, there are upfront costs, but it’s very easily justifiable and it’s very beneficial to the business and people.

The traditional robot, the non-collaborative one, is on a different price level. And the collaborative ones, no one did for us what Robotiq has done.
