Pick & Place

Schubert’s pick & place tech combines high-speed robotics and vision systems to automate delicate, high-mix, or fast-moving products like chocolates, cosmetics, baked goods, and pharma. It ensures gentle, precise handling while reducing labour, eliminating bottlenecks, and boosting efficiency across formats and SKUs.

Say Goodbye to Manual Adjustments

Unlike traditional automation, Schubert’s solution doesn’t just follow commands — it adapts in real time. Guided by 3D vision, our pick & place units identify every product’s position, shape, and orientation, adjusting dynamically without human intervention.

If your current process relies heavily on manual labour or struggles with product variability, our system could be the next leap forward.

Key features

Adding value



ROI

Your ROI when investing in a machine builder doesn't just come from spend vs product packed and sold, it's a two fold sum. Many UK customers see ROI within 12 - 24 months and our machines have a life span of over 20 years. Benefits to your ROI include:

- Reduced labour costs and fewer manual touchpoints

- Less product waste from handling errors

- Faster changeovers mean more uptime

- Future proofed investment with expandable modules designed to grow with your demand

- Improved pack consistency = stronger brand perception



Modular

The beauty of Schubert’s platform lies in its modularity. Our pick & place units are not standalone machines — they’re part of a fully integrated system that can grow with your business. Need to add a carton packer later? No problem. Want to insert a case packer or additional robot? It’s already designed to fit.

This flexibility means you’re not locked into a single solution — you're investing in a platform that evolves with your production demands.

Tooling

We have a phrase, anything that touches your products is yours, designed only for you. That's how our tooling works, built, designed and engineerred to the specific dimensions and requirements of your products.

Changing products? No need to call engineering.

Schubert pick & place systems are designed for tool-less changeovers. Format parts are lightweight, easy to replace, and pre-programmed for instant switchovers — letting your team run different SKUs or seasonal formats with minimal effort.

You can even print your own tooling on site with our 3D printing PARTBOX

Case study

Pick & Place

Toms Group, Denmark’s largest confectionery manufacturer, needed to upgrade its packaging operation for a popular chocolate product. The existing setup was running out of capacity and couldn't keep pace with growing demand.

The new pick and place solution increased throughput to over 500 chocolate bars per minute across four formats with 24/7 high-speed operation and minimal manual intervention.

"For pick-and-place technology, it made sense to enquire with Schubert first, Especially as we had already successfully completed a similar project with the company."

Dominik Jakubiak, Project Engineer at Toms
