Ten terms you'll meet in any automation conversation, defined the way we'd explain them on your factory floor.

(01) A — Z

[01] Palletising: Stacking cartons, bags or products onto pallets in a repeatable pattern so they are stable for storage and transport.
[02] End-of-line automation: Automation placed at the end of a production line, usually handling packing, palletising, wrapping or transfer tasks.
[03] Industrial robot: A robot arm built for repeatable, higher-speed factory work where throughput and reliability matter more than novelty.
[04] Cobot: A collaborative robot designed for easier human interaction. Useful in some applications, but often too slow for industrial throughput targets.
[05] End-effector: The tooling at the end of the robot arm that actually grips, lifts or manipulates the product.
[06] Changeover: The time it takes to switch the line from one SKU, carton or pallet pattern to another.
[07] Pilot: A short proof-first deployment used to test whether the application performs on your real line before a longer commitment.
[08] Indicative range: A realistic early commercial range based on your application. It is not the final proposal, but it is more useful than a vague quote request.
[09] Throughput: How much product a line or system moves in a set period, usually measured in picks per minute, cases per hour or pallets per shift.
[10] CapEx: Capital expenditure. Buying the asset outright and carrying the ownership, depreciation and internal approval process.
