Abstract
A robotic labeling system for labeling packages on a pallet includes a depalletizing station having a pallet holding a plurality of unlabeled packages and a palletizing station having a pallet configured to receive a plurality of labeled packaged. The robotic labeling system includes a labeling station configured to successively receive the packages for labeling. The labeling station has a labeling device preparing labels for the packages and a label applicator moving the labels from the labeling device to the corresponding packages. The labeling station includes a label verification scanning device scanning the applied labels for label verification. The robotic labeling system includes a palletizing robot moving the unlabeled packages from the depalletizing station to the labeling station for label application and moving the labeled packages from the labeling station to the palletizing station after label verification.
