…strength, moved at the correct speed, and placed with precision. In-process bar-code scanning—A five-sided barcode scanning system captures barcodes on each grasped item while the robotic arm is in motion, maximizing throughput by reducing the need to reorientate parcels. In-slot detection—Optimal placement is detected on the sorter using vision systems to monitor both upstream and downstream. The workcell will evaluate whether the item should be placed in a single or double tray, select the next available space, and verify placement accuracy, notifying the scan tunnel of any defects. Numerous INDUCT workcells can perform collaboratively along the same fulfillment line for…

…autonomous and integrates with customer's workflows, OTTO Motors claimed. Precision: OTTO Lifter can determine if a pallet is properly seated, if it is centered or skewed, and whether stretch wrap is covering entry notches. The robot can also match its speed to the environment, speeding up when safe to do so and slowing down accordingly. Safety: Advanced safety sensors, paired with OTTO Motors’ autonomous driving capabilities, can reduce the risk of workplace safety incidents, said the company. Setup: “OTTO Lifter is easy to install and is up and running from Day 1,” said OTTO Motors. Maintenance: The company touted its…

…without losing accuracy (approx ±1 cm / ±1°). The precision of scan matching’s vehicle localization is comparable to the cell size of its reference map. To reduce file size, vehicles using scan matching often downgrade their maps, creating cell sizes between three and ten centimeters. This is not a limitation faced by ANT® driven vehicles as the reference map, containing only permanent features, is a smaller file size and does not need to be downgraded. Additionally, because scan matching registers the entire environment – looking for matches – it also captures dynamic objects, which can move. For example, pallets may…

…AI for capabilities such as identifying objects with greater precision and informing navigation for safe maneuvering through busy facilities, all with less power consumption. And while huge jumps in AI capabilities are still to come, the autonomous behavior of AMRs—how they get from one point to another without truly knowing what goes on around them—will continue to improve. 2. 5G is coming – but maybe not as fast as anyone would like Today’s mobile robots don’t require much infrastructure, so companies can easily start with one robot. However, as soon as facilities add more robots, they must have a way…

…new station uses its Maisart AI system, which includes high-precision speech recognition software, 3D sensors and cameras, to help its robots sort and arrange items. Maisart is an abbreviation for “Mitsubishi Electric's AI creates the State-of-the-ART in technology.” Workers will be able to dictate commands to the robot system either by voice or by using a tablet. The system is pre-programmed to complete tasks and is capable of self-adjusting if it is assigned new duties on the fly or faces obstacles, the company said. It is designed to be used by non-specialists. The company called it a “teaching-less” robot, given…

…3D vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence have introduced precision and self-learning, with the ability to search data patterns and apply corrective movements. Such inherent flexibility suits low-volume, mixed-model production lines by allowing the recognition of product variation to activate appropriate responses. For product defects, a welding system with machine vision can support automated feedback and correction in real time, allowing the correction or remanufacturing of high-value parts such as those found in aerospace applications. A U.K. automotive fabric manufacturer uses such vision systems from Shelton Vision for real-time fabric inspection. Manual inspection is impossible because of the speed of…
