Revolutionizing Robotic Depalletization: A Breakthrough at Daifuku’s Bolingbrook Innovation Center
Daifuku Intralogistics America is proud to announce an exciting development at our Bolingbrook Innovation Center, where preparations are underway for the unveiling of a revolutionary robotic depalletization cell. This groundbreaking solution, developed in collaboration with our partner Cellumation, sets new standards for space efficiency, flexibility, and operational precision.
Redefining Depalletization Technology
The new robotic depalletization cell leverages Cellumation’s innovative Celluveyor technology, which combines modular hexagonal cells, cutting-edge vision systems, and intelligent software to optimize material handling. Unlike traditional depalletization systems that require significant floor space, this compact solution operates with exceptional space efficiency.
It’s important to note that the 3x3 square meter footprint refers specifically to the Celluveyor descrambler within the overall robotic depalletization and case singulation system. While the Celluveyor fits within this compact space, the complete robotic depalletization cell, including all robotic components, requires additional space.
Key Features and Benefits
• Compact Footprint: Utilizing Celluveyor's 3x3 square meter operating space for descrambling, the robotic depalletizing system achieves significant space savings compared to conventional depalletizing and descrambling systems.
• High Throughput: Capable of handling up to 450 layers per hour or 5,200 packages per hour, ensuring operational efficiency at scale.
• Flexible Outputs: Supports a wide range of packaging types and configurations to meet the needs of diverse industries.
• Advanced Integration: Daifuku offers comprehensive warehouse integration solutions, with advanced metrics available as an optional feature.
• Process Reliability: Equipped with robust pallet depalletizing technology and an intelligent vision system to ensure accurate, collision-free layer descrambling (singulation).
A Comprehensive Showcase at ProMat 2025
This cutting-edge technology will debut at ProMat 2025, the premier supply chain event, taking place from March 17–20, 2025, at McCormick Place in Chicago. Attendees visiting Booth S3841 will have the opportunity to explore Daifuku’s latest innovations, including the robotic depalletization cell and other advanced solutions.
In addition to our booth, Daifuku will offer daily shuttle service from McCormick Place to the Bolingbrook Innovation Center, where visitors can experience live demonstrations of the robotic depalletization cell and other state-of-the-art technologies, such as:
• Robotic Depalletization (Robot De-pal)
• High-Speed Sortation (HS Sortation)
• Shuttle/ASRS Systems
• Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
• Conveyor Products
• Dainamics and Emulation Software
Driving Innovation Through Partnership
This robotic depalletization cell represents the culmination of Daifuku’s commitment to innovation and our strategic partnership with Cellumation, whose technology brings unparalleled precision and scalability to material handling. The solution’s Celluveyor design allows for adaptable layouts, ensuring businesses can achieve greater flexibility while reducing operational complexity.

Terminology:
Robotic Depalletizing and Singulation (RDS) System: this is a system equipped with a robotic Depalletizer with a layer descramble system (singulator).
Robotic Depalletizer: this is the robot arm that handles layers from a pallet and transports layers one at a time.
Descrambler (Singulator): can be referred to as either a descrambler or case singulator. This is what takes a layer and manipulates the cases so that output as single cases at a time. This is what Celluveyor does.
