Plus One Robotics Unveils DepalOne

On June 18, 2025, Plus One Robotics, renowned for its innovations in AI-powered robotic vision, unveiled DepalOne—a revolutionary depalletizing solution tailored for modern warehouse operations. In collaboration with beRobox, experts in modular mobile robotics, DepalOne promises to deliver rapid, adaptable automation without necessitating extensive modifications to existing facilities or enduring prolonged downtime.

Debuting at major trade shows like ProMat and Automate earlier this spring, DepalOne combines the innovative portable hardware from beRobox with Plus One Robotics' AI-centric PickOne™ vision system. This powerful combination creates a ready-to-go, fully integrated automation cell designed to tackle the complexities of real-world operations. The system demonstrates its robustness by handling various pallet configurations—whether mixed, rainbow, or single-SKU—while simultaneously offering a clear strategy for scalability as business needs grow.

While the system emphasizes its capabilities primarily in depalletizing, it showcases Plus One Robotics' broader commitment to providing versatile PickOne solutions. Customers can choose from different options—including PickOne Lite for a cost-effective choice, PickOne Core, and the more advanced PickOne Pro—allowing flexibility based on their specific operational needs.

According to Shaun Edwards, co-founder and CTO of Plus One Robotics, the introduction of DepalOne democratizes access to advanced robotic vision technology. Previously, such innovations were often reserved for high-end operations due to their high costs and lengthy customization periods. Edwards emphasized that operators now have the chance to confidently implement automation systems that handle common challenges, such as reversed pallets, with ease.

Recognizing the increasing demand for turnkey automation solutions, Plus One Robotics and beRobox have standardized the DepalOne offering as a cohesive product. This plug-and-play system addresses various issues faced by warehouse operations, including labor shortages and risks associated with manual handling, while adapting to packaging variability. Operators can expect to implement this system in a matter of weeks, ready to 'go live' immediately upon deployment.

DepalOne is built to efficiently manage a variety of packages and containers and can seamlessly adjust to production exceptions encountered in real-world scenarios. The system is capable of:

• - Depalletizing Cell: This unit efficiently handles diverse packages, navigating single SKU, mixed, and rainbow pallets.
• - Depal Combo Cell: A dual-purpose unit that serves both palletizing and depalletizing functions—ideal for dock doors, cross-docking operations, or expedited repalletizing.
• - Depal/Repal System: A comprehensive solution that facilitates depalletizing to order, relabeling, and pallet rebuilding tailored for evolving business needs.

With a throughput of 500-700 packages per hour, the DepalOne system boasts a capacity to handle up to 70 pounds per item, supports pallet heights of up to 98 inches, and operates at nine cycles per minute with dual pallet locations.

David Demers, CEO of beRobox, stated, “There is a pressing need for automation solutions that align with operators’ current situations—not only regarding cost and complexity but also in terms of implementation speed.” He emphasized that technology, which functions immediately out of the box and adapts to growth, truly realizes the potential of automation.

The DepalOne solution is available in various scalable tiers, each allowing for integration with corresponding PickOne vision packages. Businesses can select solutions that best suit their operational complexities:

• - Cobot: Takes just four weeks for deployment, capable of managing around 500 packages per hour.
• - Industrial Robot: Can be up and running in eight weeks, with throughput exceeding 650 packages per hour.

Plus One Robotics remains committed to assisting integrators in developing customized depalletizing solutions tailored to specific operational needs. These bespoke solutions typically require around 20 weeks for full deployment and can achieve impressive throughput rates of over 1,000 packages per hour.
