Robots picking and packing with precision

This Special Focus Issue examines the different types of robots and automation systems involved with picking, packing and packaging.

Automation systems, including robot arms, can help reduce physical strain on employees during picking, packing and shipping processes. Grippers, motors, sensors, cameras and software enable precise sorting and placing of items and boxes. Cobot arms and autonomous mobile robots are helping logistics warehouse employees complete bin, piece and case picking with efficiency.

Organizations continue to tackle order fulfillment in warehouses across the globe. Robotics and automation are front and center to expedite sending goods from seller to consumer. Optimizing workflows that reduce downtime and bottlenecks are at the heart of this portion of the material handling lifecycle. 

As we approach the peak holiday season, 3PL, logistics and supply chain organizations will need to be at their best to handle increased demand. In this issue, we’ll explore new robots, systems and sensors that create the precision needed to pick and pack a variety of items.
