The new bin picking system can pick and place up to 2,000 items per hour, using cameras and computer vision software to sequence picks and select the right gripper.
Vision AI provider Fizyr, robotics technology provider Cognibotics, and industrial 3D camera provider Zivid recently unveiled a new automated bin picking system.
The companies claim it is the fastest bin picking system in the world.
The system comprises a Cognibotics HKM1800 robot arm for pick-and-place capabilities, supported by Zivid’s 2+R series 3D camera and Fizyr’s PANOPTICTM computer vision software to identify and process products, pick priority, grasp position, and place verification.
“For years, logistics and automation professionals have been working on solutions to tame the chaos and improve throughput speeds of item intake in highly dynamic environments,” said Ken Fleming, Fizyr CEO. “By combining three best-of-breed components into one solution, we have delivered unprecedented speed and accuracy.”
The Zivid 2+R-series camera captures true-to-reality point clouds, even when presented with shiny and transparent objects, in under 150 milliseconds, ensuring it does not limit the cycle time of the Cognibotics HKM1800.
The robot arm can achieve a pick rate of up to 2,000 items per hour and covers a workspace of about 107 square feet (10 square meters).
Fizyr PANOPTICTM handles segmentation, shape and material detection, sequences pick order, identifies object grip location, selects the right gripper, and directs the order of operations with up to a 99.5% success rate.
“The combination of Cognibotics, Zivid, and Fizyr brings unprecedented reach, speed, and adaptability to bin picking,” said Fredrik Malmgren, Cognibotics CEO. “Our HKM1800 robot, with its 10 square meter reach and up to 2,000 picks per hour, enables groundbreaking solutions and layout possibilities previously thought impossible.”
“Automated picking solutions are limited by the weakest link in the component chain,” said Mikkel Orheim, Zivid SVP, sales & marketing. “Partnering with companies like Cognibotics and Fizyr that consistently push the boundaries of what’s possible inspires us to deliver cameras like the 2+R series that excel in the most challenging environments.”
Cognibotics and Zivid are both key members of the Fizyr Partner Program designed to develop and deliver the best components and automation systems to systems integrators for real-world applications.
The system was demonstrated at Fizyr’s Automation & Robotics Conference in October 2024, and is already being incorporated into warehouse management systems (WMS) by top integrators.
