…competitive environment and are under constant pressure to accelerate delivery times while lowering costs. Although robotic depalletizing (depal) of homogenous pallets has been around for a while, mixed-case or partial-layer loads are far more technically challenging and require advanced machine-learning vision for it to be successful. The vision system has to determine various case angles, which cases are on top and which should be picked first. It must have the intelligence to choose and select different end-of-arm tools (EOAT), and then ascertain the precise grasp pose to avoid interfering with adjacent cases. “Depal is a warehouse workflow characterized by heavy…
