Piece picking of packed food

Customer demand

At this customer from the food industry, the Vision-guided robots quickly pick items from mixed-SKU inventory bins and place them into order containers. The 3D vision-guided robots are required to handle thousands of SKUs per day.

The Mech-Mind solution

• The Mech-Eye industrial 3D camera generates highquality point clouds of objects with various shapes (boxes, bags, bottles, etc.) and materials (plastic, paper, etc.).
• No previous registration of new SKUs. Quickly adapts to changing packaging.
• With the multi-suction cup end effector, the robot picks a wide range of SKUs with high accuracy, stability, and speed.
• With advanced AI algorithms, even some challenging items (e.g., objects near the bin wall or stacked in corners) are picked and placed accurately.
• Works together with the warehouse management system (WMS), code scanner and pick-to-light (PTL) system for efficient sorting.

Results

• Doubled sorting efficiency.
• 24/7 stable operation.
