A method and system to build mixed pallet layers from full pallet layers comprises a palletizing/de-palletizing system, a feeding system for feeding the full pallet layers to the palletizing/de-palletizing system; and a mixed pallet output system for receiving the mixed pallet layers from the palletizing/de-palletizing system. The palletizing/de-palletizing system includes a ball table to receive and support the full pallet layers of products and t o support the mixed pallet layers; a plurality of product accumulating rows located adjacent the ball table for receiving and accumulating identical products fr om the full pallet layers and a robot, provided with a tool, to pick products from one of the full pallet layers on the table, to store the products in a selected one of the accumulating rows, and to form a mixed pallet layer on the table by picking selected products in the accumulating rows and by positioning the selected products according to a mixed layer pattern.
