Palletizing on FANUC robots
New in 1.2Program your palletizing robot. Then run it.
Stackmill builds the pallet plan on a PC, then drives the FANUC robot in production — operator screens, recipes, alarms and restarts — on the robot's own tablet or on any screen in the workshop.
- No PLC needed
- No HMI panel to buy
- No subscription, ever
- Runs offline once activated
Pallet plan, simulation and export, in the desktop application.
One software
Three moments in the life of a machine
The same project file, from the first pallet plan to the day the line changes format.
Program
Draw the pallet, place the robot, check reach, collisions and singularities, simulate the cycle, export a program the robot runs on its own.
Learn more →Produce
Day after day, the software drives the robot: operator screens, recipes, alarms, restart after a stop. Not a demonstration mode — the production mode.
Learn more →Install
Any computer does the job: an industrial PC, a standard desktop, even a laptop. Or a machine we prepare, installed from a USB stick.

Built for FANUC first
Every feature is developed and tested on FANUC hardware, in France and on customer sites. Other brands are on the way — the driver, the solver and the exporter are already brand-agnostic inside.
Production mode
NewThe software that programs the robot now drives it
One FANUC driver, one live state, one interface — instead of a program exported to a controller and then forgotten.
Live FANUC driver
Programs started and stopped from the software; position, status, alarms, speed override and payload read straight from the controller.
Operator screens
A grid of panels per cell — recipes, pallet stations, speed, emergency stop — built for the operator, not for the programmer.
Recipes, not reprogramming
Change format, pallet plan or station from the screen. The cell keeps its program and its cycle.
Guided recovery
Acknowledge an alarm, restart cold, hand the robot back to the pendant, reconnect after a break — each step with a state the operator can read.
Manual move and free motion
Jog, teach and clear the cell by hand, under the same rules as the automatic cycle.
Simulation first
Drive a ROBOGUIDE simulation exactly as you would the real controller, before the cell exists.
Where it runs
The operator screen is already in your cell
Stackmill serves its interface over the cell network. Anything with a browser becomes the HMI — starting with the robot's own tablet.
The FANUC tablet pendant
On a robot with a tablet pendant — the CRX range, and the newer tablet teach pendant — the operator screen runs on the pendant the robot already has. Nothing else to buy or mount.
Any Android tablet
Where the robot has the classic pendant, any Android tablet does the same job: a kiosk application points at the machine and opens the screens full screen.
Any PC or laptop
The desktop application, or a browser on the cell network. Same screens, same rights, several at once.

No PLC at all
The robot controller is already a programmable controller, and Stackmill puts the sequence there. A palletizing station needs the robot, an ordinary computer and the software — nothing else in the cabinet.
- The sequence runs in the robot: start, I/O, recipes and alarms. There is no automation controller to specify, buy, wire, program and maintain.
- The computer is ordinary: a standard industrial PC, no real-time operating system, no fieldbus card, no special hardware.
- If your line already has a PLC, Stackmill talks to it — the machine fits the plant, not the other way round.
Safety hardware does not change
Emergency stop, safety relays, guarding and the safety circuit stay exactly as your integrator specifies them. Stackmill sequences the cell; it is not a safety device and never replaces one.
What you own
Buy it once. Use it for life.
Most software in this field is billed every year. Ours is not, and the maintenance you may add never becomes the condition for what you bought to keep working.
No subscription
One purchase, one machine, no yearly renewal. The licence does not expire and the software does not stop.
Offline for good
Activated once on a machine with a security module, it then needs neither the internet nor us.
Updates you decide
Signed, refused while the robot is producing, and rolled back on their own if a version does not start.
Maintenance and training, optional
Maintenance is a subscription you may add for support and new versions. Training is quoted per project. Neither is required to keep producing.
Try it on your own pallets
The demo is the whole software, with no time limit. A licence is what unlocks export.
