…Most vision-guided picking occurs in warehouses. For example, the RightPick system from RightHand Robotics uses AI to autonomously handle thousands of SKUs from totes, bins, boxes, and cases. The hardware consists of an intelligent gripper, a high-performance industrial PC, and a robot arm. Advanced automation systems can help online stores keep up with product flow and ensure customer satisfaction. For example, Paltac Corp., a major wholesaler of consumer packaged goods in Japan, has streamlined its picking processes with the help of RightHand Robotics. 2. AI manages mobile robot fleets As manufacturers and supply chains adopt automation, they need to control…

…robotic picking news, RightHand Robotics Inc. has updated its RightPick 3 system. “RightPick 3 achieves an unprecedented level of autonomy, with flexibility to execute multiple warehouse tasks reliably, despite the inherent variability of picking processes,” stated Yaro Tenzer, co-founder and CEO of the Somerville, Mass.-based company. Other automation at ProMat DX SICK showcased the nanoScan3, which is claimed is the “world's smallest-profile laser scanner on the market.” The company also discussed 2D lidar localization as a supplement to the magnetic and optical guidance systems for AGVs and AMRs. SICK also provides sensors for stationary applications, such as bin picking. Berkshire…

…of online and mobile ordering. The Somerville, Mass.-based company’s RightPick System uses a gripper, a vision system, and control software. It’s used for picking applications in the materials handling space. RightHand sells its system as a package, rather than each component piecemeal, since Martinelli noted that users want an integrated system. When RightHand Robotics launched RightPick 2 in 2019, it could do somewhere around 750 to 800 picks per hour at trade shows. Its latest version, the RightPick 3, can do 1,200, he said. Accuracy and precision are of utmost importance on production lines, said Martinelli. “If you get it…

…logistics will grow from $300 million in 2017 to $3 billion by 2022, or roughly a 10-fold increase. “We are seeing true exponential growth now,” says Ash Sharma, a research director for Interact Analysis. “While numerous companies have been doing pilot projects for the last two years in warehousing or manufacturing facilities, now they are looking to expand their use of robotics. They are automating more processes, rolling out robots to more sites, or more countries. We are past the piloting stage.” While e-commerce has increased piece-picking requirements, robotics also has evolved rapidly, with less reliance on guidance infrastructure like…
