Yaskawa America Officially Launches Robotic Warehouse Solutions in North America

February 16, 2026

Yaskawa America, Inc. has announced the official North American launch of its robotic warehouse solutions, leveraging and scaling successful engineering that has resulted in real-world deployments across Europe and several pre-launch sites in the United States.

These fully commercialized solutions are now supported, delivered and serviced by Yaskawa America, marking a significant expansion of the company’s commitment to warehouse automation in the North American market. Designed and engineered to help address throughput, labor efficiency and scalability challenges, these solutions bring together Yaskawa’s robotics expertise with advanced motion planning and vision technologies.

At the core of this expansion are Yaskawa’s PackMaster cell and its layer picker solution. The PackMaster is a palletizing system that leverages integrated motion planning and vision to support consistent, high-speed operations in a mixed-SKU environment, providing densely packed and wrapped outbound pallets while offering rates ranging from approximately 800 to 1,200 cases per hour. 

The layer picker solution allows for up to 130 single-SKU layers to be introduced to descramblers or other conveyance solutions. These solutions, along with Yaskawa's full-line of industrial and collaborative robots, AC-Drives, and servo motors extend the company’s position as the leader in material movement.

Attendees can learn more about the solutions in action at MODEX 2026, taking place April 13–16, in Atlanta, Georgia, at Booth C13556. 

For more information, visit Yaskawa at MODEX or learn more at www.motoman.com.
