Pallet Incident Prevention System - PIPS

In high-velocity warehouse environments, one unstable pallet can trigger injuries, product loss, and unplanned downtime. Sciotex’s Pallet Incident Prevention System delivers automated pallet inspection that identifies spill and tip risks in real time using advanced 3D sensing.

How Sciotex Pallet Inspection Works

Our pallet inspection solution uses one or more cameras to capture detailed 3D data from pallet sidewalls and top surfaces as loads move through your line. The system calculates spill and tip risk and sends a real-time go/no-go signal directly to your logistics or warehouse management software.

Photocell-triggered measurement completes in seconds, enabling throughput of up to 4 pallets per minute.
Compact, small-form-factor computing devices provide industrial performance without large footprints.
3D point clouds with roughly 1.0 mm accuracy give a precise geometric record of every pallet.

Pallet Detection and Inspection Detail

In the example shown, a pallet with overhanging boxes in the upper right corner is flagged as marginal spill risk, with red heatmap regions and plane models indicating a negative tilt angle of about 5 degrees. The system marks this pallet as a no-go, but all go/no-go thresholds can be tuned to match your operation’s risk tolerance.

Actionable 3D Analytics for Every Pallet

Each pallet inspection generates a high-resolution 3D point cloud that can be stored for post-processing or re-analysis. Your team can access results as spreadsheets or through Sciotex’s dedicated viewer application.

View 3D rendered scenes of raw point clouds, plus calculated tip-risk heat maps and planar wall models.
Use color-coded views for rapid visual assessment of overhangs, negative tilt angles, and structural anomalies.
Explore scatter plots that track pallet height, sidewall overhang volume, sidewall slope, and top surface overhang distance over time.

Customizable Pallet Inspection Thresholds

Pallet inspection parameters and thresholds are configurable to adapt to different inspection lines and pallet conditions.

Tighten thresholds to minimize incidents in safety-critical environment.
Relax thresholds where maximum throughput is the priority and risk tolerance is higher.
Use historical inspection data to refine policies as your operations evolve.
Calibrate separate go/no-go thresholds for top overhang, sidewall slope, and overall tilt so different failure modes are managed with different levels of strictness.
Configure early-warning “monitor” bands between go and no-go to flag marginal pallets for manual review without stopping the entire line.
