Photoneo and Jacobi Robotics Partner to Deliver AI-Powered Robotic Automation for Warehouses
The first showcase of advanced mixed palletizing solution at ProMat 2025 illustrates the combined power of 3D vision and AI-driven robotics, delivering unprecedented efficiency, scalability, and cost savings for warehouses and distribution centers.
Photoneo, now part of Zebra Technologies, and a global leader in 3D vision technology, is excited to announce its collaboration with Jacobi Robotics, a pioneer in AI-powered robotic automation, to offer innovative warehouse automation solutions. The partnership combines Photoneo's high-precision 3D vision systems with Jacobi's AI-driven robotics software, enabling warehouses to automate complex processes, reduce labor costs, and dramatically improve operational efficiency.
The first demonstration of this powerful synergy will be showcased at ProMat 2025 (March 17-20, McCormick Place, Chicago) in Booth #E11505. Attendees will see a live demonstration of a groundbreaking mixed palletizing solution, highlighting how Photoneo's advanced PhoXi 3D Scanners integrate seamlessly with Jacobi Robotics' AI-driven robotic platform to create a fully automated, high-efficiency solution. Together, the companies are setting a new standard for warehouse automation, enabling businesses to significantly reduce manual labor demands, enhance worker safety, and increase operational efficiency.
A Leap Forward in Warehouse Automation
The collaboration combines Photoneo's industry-leading 3D vision technology with Jacobi Robotics' proprietary motion planning software, resulting in systems capable of efficiently automating a wide range of challenging warehouse tasks, including palletizing and depalletizing single and mixed SKUs, with or without containers, such as roll cages and Gaylords. Historically, use cases with mixed palletizing and Gaylords have posed significant automation challenges; however, the advanced capabilities of Jacobi's AI-driven robotic platform, coupled with Photoneo's high-precision 3D vision systems, now make these solutions achievable.
"We're excited to partner with Photoneo for a range of warehouse automation solutions," said Yahav Avigal, Co-Founder and CTO of Jacobi Robotics. "By combining our AI-powered motion planning with Photoneo's cutting-edge 3D vision, we're creating systems that not only boost efficiency but also adapt to the ever-changing demands of modern logistics."
"At Photoneo, we're committed to solving real-world challenges through innovation," added Robert Cisar, Business Development Director at Photoneo. "This collaboration with Jacobi Robotics is a perfect example of how advanced technology can deliver tangible benefits, empowering warehouses to operate smarter, faster, and more cost-effectively."
A Showcase of Advanced Mixed Palletizing at ProMat 2025
At ProMat, visitors will witness a live demonstration featuring Jacobi's high-speed robotic palletizing system integrated with Photoneo's PhoXi 3D Scanners. Cases enter through existing warehouse workflows-including manual picking or cross-docking-and pass through a compact robotic buffer that dynamically sequences them for optimal pallet building. Jacobi Robotics' AI software then directs industrial robot arms to rapidly build stable mixed pallets, significantly increasing throughput and reducing manual labor.
â— Benefits of the Combined Solution Include:Increased Throughput: Accelerate outbound shipments with a system capable of handling up to 1000 cases per hour.
â— Improved Order Accuracy: Precise object recognition and optimized stacking patterns minimize errors,reduce costly returns, and improve pallet stability.
â— Enhanced Safety and Ergonomics:Automating physically demanding tasks protects workers from injury and enables redeployment to higher-value roles
â— Enhanced Operational Flexibility: The system integrates seamlessly with existing workflows and scales with business growth.
â— Faster Deployment: Designed for quick setup and reconfiguration, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
