How Long Does It Take to Install a Cobot Palletiser?
Installing a palletiser typically takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the number of palletisers, system complexity and site conditions. Simpler cobot palletisers can often be installed and commissioned quickly where space and services are already prepared, while more complex systems need extra time for conveyor integration, safety systems and testing.
What affects palletiser installation time?
The biggest factors are how many palletisers are being installed, how complex the system is, and how ready the site already is. A single compact cobot cell going into a space with power, air and conveyor connections already in place can be commissioned in a matter of days.
Larger or multi-line installations — particularly ones involving conveyor integration, safety fencing, or dual-feed SKU handling — take longer because each of those needs its own testing and sign-off before the system goes live.
Do I need to stop production to install automation?
In most cases, no. Systems are usually installed alongside existing operations, with final connections and commissioning carried out during planned downtime or a scheduled shutdown period. The goal is to minimise disruption and keep the rest of the line running normally while the new cell is brought online.
What happens after installation?
Every installation is backed by a thorough safety audit, so the line is compliant and safe from day one. Reeco also provides on-site training for operators and maintenance teams, so basic faults can be handled internally and the system stays productive between service visits.
If you want to see installation and commissioning in practice before committing, Reeco offers free trials and proof-of-concept runs on your own product first.
