The Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, and Distribution platform brings together a multidisciplinary team focused on aligning capital, people, and property to enable clients to scale faster, operate more efficiently, and make long-term decisions with greater confidence.

April 28, 2026

Peak Technologies, a global provider of smart technologies, automated supply chain and mobile workforce solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with Jacobi Robotics. The collaboration brings AI-powered mixed-case palletizing to complex warehouses and distribution centers.

Using the Jacobi OmniPalletizer – a physical AI platform – the need for upstream buffering, sorting and sequencing can be eliminated, driving unmatched operational efficiency. Combined with Peak Technologies' deep expertise in enterprise technology integration, the turnkey solution can be deployed rapidly without disruptions to active workflows. This makes it ideal for a wide range of industries, including retail, grocery, beverage, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), parcel and third-party logistics (3PL) facilities.

“Mixed-case palletizing is traditionally one of the most time- and cost-intensive workflows in warehouse environments, often forcing operations teams to trade off between automation and flexibility,” said Tony Rivers, president and CEO at Peak Technologies. “Our partnership with Jacobi Robotics eliminates that constraint by providing a fully packaged solution that adapts to real-world variability without adding upstream complexity.”

Leveraging real-time motion planning, computer vision and self-learning AI, the OmniPalletizer continuously adapts to case variables without manual programming. The platform intelligently discerns product mix, packaging dimensions and arrival patterns while honoring operational rules such as heavy-to-light prioritization or crush limits. This flexibility enables it to efficiently build stable, dense and store-ready mixed-case pallets without changing upstream processes. Onboard digital twin technology allows users to validate system performance using their own historical data, providing clear performance insight from day one.

Backed by Peak Technologies’ proven systems engineering, on-site integration and lifecycle support, OmniPalletizer can be deployed rapidly within complex brownfield facilities – providing a low-risk path from manual to automated mixed-case palletizing.
