ABB Robotics strengthens its industry-leading logistics automation portfolio with the launch of Item Picker, a new picking solution based on artificial intelligence and vision technology, which accurately identifies and picks items in complex environments in warehouses and fulfillment centers. Complementing its industry-leading logistics automation portfolio, the solution accurately identifies and picks items in complex environments in warehouses and fulfillment centers.
"The explosive growth of e-commerce, changing consumer demands and global labor shortages are driving the need for flexible automation solutions to improve the speed and efficiency of order fulfillment and delivery," said Daniel Navarro, Global Head of Consumer Goods and Services Robotics Business Unit at ABB Robotics. Our AI-powered robotic picking solution, Item Picker, helps businesses overcome these challenges and build resilience by learning and adapting to the ever-changing warehouse environment to quickly identify and make intelligent decisions on how to pick items with over 99.5% accuracy. ”
Item Picker uses machine vision and artificial intelligence technology to determine the best gripping point for each item, then picks up the item through a suction cup and places it into a designated box. The system does not require any human supervision, nor does it require the physical information to be entered in advance about the items to be picked. With a sorting rate of up to 1,400 items per hour, businesses can handle more orders without adding headcount or working hours.
The Item Picker solution includes robots, suction cup grippers and proprietary machine vision software to fully automate a range of complex item picking and placing tasks, including bottles, bags, boxes and all types of plastic packaging, with the flexibility and flexibility of a human being.
The Item Picker is suitable for a wide range of loads and applications and can be installed with the IRB 1200, IRB 1300 and IRB 2600 robots. With a payload of up to 3 kg and a working range of up to 1.65 m, the Item Picker is highly flexible to meet the needs of order fulfillment and sorting.
Thanks to pre-configuration and testing, Item Picker can be easily integrated into existing automated storage and retrieval solutions, such as shuttle, Rubik's Cube and 3D storage solutions, reducing commissioning effort and speeding up time to market.
Item Picker's easy-to-use control application software seamlessly integrates the individual system components and interacts with other peripherals, allowing customers and partners to easily add components and other functions. ABB also offers a full suite of services including service agreements, online training, preventive maintenance and online technical support.
