Within the PaTRo project a demonstrator of the patent pending Pallet-Tagging-Robot was built. The robot can automatically attach RFID transponders to flat wooden pallets. The innovative aspect of the robot relies on its ability to directly affix RFID transponders on stacked pallets. The device can be used at every facility where wooden pallets are stacked. The whole robot consists only of a few components, thus enabling easy movement between different facilities. Furthermore, the robot uses only the pallet stack to climb upwards. The machine stops at each pallet, mills a groove into it and fixes a RFID transponder with brackets. The demonstrator shows the potential of the Pallet-Tagging-Robot to interested partners from industry.
