…while picking and then placing the item in a delivery bin. Based on feedback, the intelligent grippers ensure accuracy and a gripping success rate of 100%. In addition to the low gripping failure rate, the Movu eligo reduces the number of manual ‘touches’ required for order fulfilment or replenishment and can reach a pick success rate greater than 99%, officials claim. Able to achieve 600 picks per hour, depending on the specific implementation, the robot can pick goods up to 2 kg and with dimensions of 1 cm minimum to a maximum of 30 cm. The robot is also completely…

…explained Reger. “However, this volume only describes the minimum delivery volume over the next five years. The actual demand of our customers is much higher, but currently still limited by our production capacities.” “For a better classification of the demand as a whole—the order volume mentioned results from just one-time 14 contracts,” he noted. “We currently have around 100 more contracts under negotiation. That is why the new capital is so important, because we need to expand our production capacities very quickly.” NEURA is developing industrial robots that will cost €5,000 to €40,000 ($5,570 to $44,600 to U.S.) and aiming…
