ADDRIS — Flagship Platform
Inbound receiving, fully automated.
ADDRIS — Automated Depalletizing, Decant, Receiving & Induction System — is far more than a depalletizer. It's a complete inbound warehouse automation platform: every carton is identified, labeled, routed, opened, and decanted under software control, from the pallet to the outbound tote.
The Platform
One system owns the whole inbound flow
Receiving is where warehouse labor piles up: breaking pallets, identifying cartons, cutting boxes, emptying them into totes, and chasing exceptions. ADDRIS automates the entire chain as one engineered system — robotics, vision, conveyors, and software designed together by DAC.
Exceptions don't stop the line. Oversized cartons, unreadable labels, and unknown SKUs divert to focused operator stations and merge back into the automated flow — so people handle judgment, and robots handle volume.
Digital Identity
The LPN is every box's digital identity
The moment a carton is labeled, its License Plate Number ties together everything ADDRIS knows and decides about it. Every station downstream — automated or manual — works from the same identity in the same database.
How It Works
The ADDRIS workflow
Twelve stations, one flow: from mixed pallet to filled tote, with software directing every carton by its LPN.
Mixed-case depalletizing
A robot depalletizes mixed-SKU pallets, reading each carton as it picks. Oversized cartons divert automatically to manual induction.
- Barcode read
- Country of origin
- Quantity capture
- Oversize auto-divert
Manual induction
An operator station handles oversized and exception cartons — the operator enters barcode, country of origin, and quantity, and the box merges back into the automated flow.
- Oversized cartons
- Operator data entry
- Merges into automated flow
Scan tunnel
Every carton passes through five-sided scanning that captures and verifies its identity before labeling.
- Five-sided scanning
- Barcode
- OCR
- Dimensioning
- Verification
LPN labeling
ADDRIS generates a License Plate Number, applies the label, and verifies it immediately. The LPN links the carton to everything the system knows about it.
- SKU
- Quantity
- Country of origin
- Warehouse database
- ABOT eligibility
- Routing data
Intelligent routing
Software determines each carton’s disposition and the conveyor system routes it automatically — no touches, no decisions on the floor.
- ABOT eligible
- Manual decant
- Recon1
- Recon2
- VNA
- Unknown SKU
- Missing data
Recon1 — data exceptions
An operator resolves identification exceptions; once corrected, software determines the carton’s final disposition and it rejoins the flow.
- Unread barcode
- Unread OCR
- Missing country of origin
- Unknown SKU
- Master database exceptions
ABOT — automated box cutting
Our patented Automated Box Opening Technology cuts the tape — not the product. Multiple LiDAR cameras profile every box for a servo-controlled cutter with automatic blade change.

- Servo-controlled cutter

Lid pick
A robot removes the cut lid and the open box continues downstream — ready to empty.
- Robotic lid removal
- Continuous flow
Recon2 — physical exceptions
An operator station for cartons that need hands: trash removal, manual decant, or release to auto decant. Software directs every disposition from the LPN.
- Trash removal
- Manual decant
- Auto decant release
- LPN-directed disposition
Automated decant
A robot picks and clamps the open box, then empties it into a dump hopper — while the buffer system simultaneously determines the destination tote.
- Robotic pick & clamp
- Dump hopper transfer
- Tote selected in parallel
Dynamic tote buffer
The buffer keeps totes moving intelligently: retrieve the SKU’s existing tote if one is open, or a fresh empty. After each dump it checks fill level — full totes go outbound, partials return to storage.
- Existing-tote retrieval
- Empty-tote supply
- Fill-level check
- Outbound or return to buffer
Manual decant
Manual and robotic decant run from the same inventory system. The operator scans the LPN and tote barcode; software decides whether to keep filling, store the tote, or send it outbound — and the buffer robot supplies and retrieves totes automatically.
- LPN + tote scan
- Shared inventory system
- Automated tote supply & retrieval
