Swisslog Logistics (Booth 7657) is highlighting its new and improved logistics dream team at Modex this week. Known as ItemPiQ, the robotic single item picking solution pairs perfectly with AutoStore and delivers new levels of warehouse productivity.
With rapid robotic picking, improved product recognition and multiple gripping modes that adapt to different products and sizes, ItemPiQ makes robotics an option in more places than ever. The system is centered around a KUKA six-axis lightweight robot and a vision system with a 3D camera and smart image recognition software.
When integrated with the AutoStore robotic storage and retrieval system, the solution creates a fully automated goods-to-robot system designed to shorten both pick times and ROI. “Picking and packing can account for nearly 50% of all logistics costs in industrial and commercial logistics and DCs,” said Markus Schmidt, president, Swisslog Americas. “ItemPiQ helps cut these costs permanently while helping alleviate labor shortages.”
Modex 2020 is scheduled to be held March 9-12 at Georgia’s World Congress Center in Atlanta. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the materials handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete coverage of the show.
