Abstract

The invention relates to a gripper device (5) for transporting palletized goods (3) from a receiving location (4) to a palletizing area (6), comprising a gripper unit (10) with at least one gripper element (11) which is movable to perform a closing movement (201), by means of which the palletized goods (3) can be at least partially enclosed in a transport space (200) formed by the gripper unit (10) at the receiving location (4), and to perform an opening movement (202), by means of which the transport space (200) can be opened to release the palletized goods (3) at the palletizing area (6). The invention further relates to a palletizing system (1), a control method (100), and a computer program product.
