…polybagging process for e-commerce operations. OSARO said its automated bagging provides a streamlined autonomous piece-picking solution to seamlessly integrate with automatic bagging machines, from picking to packing. The San Francisco-based company claimed that its system can package individual items at a rate of 350 pieces per hour, with less overhead and superior return on investment (ROI). A five-cell deployment will return as much as 40% cost savings over five years when compared with an equivalent number of manual bagging stations, said OSARO. Veo Robotics As a variety of robotic solutions become more essential in the packaging industry, safety of human-robot…
