## Key takeaways

- beRobox introduced the 3D Dynamic Safety module for its PALTZ robotic palletizers on October 19, 2026, at PACK EXPO International 2026 in Chicago.
- The module uses Sonair's ADAR One, described as the world's first SIL 2 / Pl d safety-certified 3D ultrasonic sensor, mounted on the robot arm.
- The system is demonstrated on a PALTZ palletizer with a UR20 robot arm from Universal Robots at beRobox booth LU-8718.

BeRobox introduced the 3D Dynamic Safety module for its PALTZ robotic palletizers on October 19, 2026, at PACK EXPO International 2026 in Chicago. The company said the module mounts detection on the robot arm rather than keeping it fixed around the robot. It is demonstrated on a PALTZ palletizer with a UR20 robot arm from Universal Robots at beRobox booth LU-8718. The details were reported by [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/article/950797705/live).

## How the PALTZ Safety Module Works

The module is powered by [Sonair](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000089e/sonair)'s safety-certified ADAR One 3D ultrasonic sensor, which integrates detection directly onto the robot arm. As the robot moves through its workspace, the sensor moves with it, creating a dynamic protective zone that adapts to the robot's position. Sonair develops 3D ultrasonic sensing technology for robotics and autonomous machines and is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.

"Safety has always been fundamental to automation, but we saw an opportunity to rethink how it could work on a palletizer," said David Demers, CEO of beRobox. "Our goal was not simply to introduce a new type of sensor. We wanted to create a safety concept that better reflects what is actually happening on the production floor: people interact with the system, pallets need to be changed, and the robot is constantly moving."

By knowing where the robot is and detecting people and objects around it in three dimensions, the module can respond according to what is happening within the palletizing workspace in real time. During the palletizing process, an operator can access one pallet station for pallet changeover while the robot continues palletizing at the other. The system manages the protected area based on the robot's position and operating conditions, maintaining detection around the robot without requiring the entire cell to stop. Presence remains detectable around the robot, helping prevent an unintended restart while the area is occupied.

At the core of the module is Sonair's ADAR One, described as the world's first SIL 2 / Pl d safety-certified 3D ultrasonic sensor, which uses airborne ultrasound rather than light to detect people and objects in three-dimensional space. "True human-robot coexistence requires safe perception that works reliably under any factory condition," said Knut Sandven, CEO of Sonair. "Partnering with beRobox to power the 3D Dynamic Safety brings our safety-certified 3D ultrasonic perception to one of industrial automation's highest-throughput applications, allowing machines and humans to share tight spaces safely without stopping production."

"What's really different is that we're no longer designing the safety system only around fixed areas in the workspace," said Max Walsh P. Eng., Robotic Safety Engineer at beRobox. "We can now combine the robot's position with real-time 3D presence detection to determine how the system should react. That gives us much more flexibility to manage operator interactions without compromising the safety functions we need to maintain."

## Where the 3D Dynamic Safety Debuts

The 3D Dynamic Safety was officially launched on October 19 at PACK EXPO International 2026 in Chicago. It is being demonstrated on a PALTZ robotic palletizer featuring a UR20 robot arm from Universal Robots at beRobox booth LU-8718 throughout the show. BeRobox designs the PALTZ family of configurable robotic palletizing solutions, powered by its proprietary STACKiT software.
