About Pelican Robotics
Pelican Robotics develops robotic handling for mixed warehouse loads. Its systems depalletise incoming goods, pick from bins and build outbound pallets where cartons differ in size, weight, orientation and stacking constraints.
Three-dimensional vision identifies items and available grasp surfaces, while planning software chooses pick sequences and pallet positions. Robot arms, grippers, conveyors and safety equipment are integrated into cells connected to warehouse workflows. Load optimisation accounts for stability and delivery order, helping retail, e-commerce and logistics operators automate work that is difficult to program with fixed item rules.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-04-13 - Demonstration - FANUC, Schmalz and Orbbec cell joins Pelican at MODEX 2026
The system identified, dimensioned and tracked cases of different sizes and configurations in real time. Its planning software generated stable pallet patterns intended to maximize density while preserving load integrity. The demonstration integrated FANUC robotic automation, Schmalz vacuum gripping and Orbbec 3D vision.

The system used 3D vision to identify the size and shape of randomly presented cases. Its planning engine selected cases and positions to build an optimized mixed-SKU pallet for retail delivery routes. A conveyor buffer reloaded cases when needed so the demonstration could run as a closed material-handling loop.
Source - 2024-06-19 - Demonstration - Pelican Pick combines automatic tool changes with barcode verification
The system selected a gripper tool appropriate to the size of the part being picked from the bin. After the pick, the workflow exposed and scanned the barcode to verify that the robot had selected the correct item. The demonstration combined Pelican software with technology from FANUC, Keyence and Schmalz.

The live system picked boxes of different sizes and orientations from a conveyor and stacked them on pallets. Orbbec Femto Mega 3D cameras measured box dimensions, recognized each case and supplied position data to the robot. Pelican software calculated an efficient stacking sequence and placement plan before the robotic arm executed the workflow.
