World’s First High-Reliability Robotic Picking Cell for Transparent Poly Bags to Be Unveiled at Automatica
Summary
“Where transparent poly bags are involved in e-commerce fulfillment, pick and place automation has less than one percent market penetration,” said Preben Hjørnet, CTO for the Gripper Company. This collaboration more than doubles the best throughput speed currently available, with much higher success rates.” Pairing the Zivid 2+ 3D camera with Fizyr’s deep learning computer vision software provides unparalleled robustness for handling transparent objects. The robot never needs to slow down, consistently performing at its fastest possible speed thanks to instantaneous image capture, processing and robot instruction, and it can pick, move and place up to 1,200 fast moving consumer goods per hour in high variability environments, including transparent poly bags - which present many challenges for traditional grippers, with much greater success than leading in-market solutions. As we continuously expand the platform by adding new actuation methods - the introduction of MAXXgrip can finally take full advantage of the industrial robots performance in warehouse and logistics. TGC has a VISION to offer greater opportunity for automation, to meet demands for increased productivity through 5 performance requirements: Variation, Throughput, Gentleness, Ease of Use and Job-Customization.
