MODEX 2026: AI, components, warehouse automation software & more

RAPTOR (Robot Arm Picking to Order Release) from NūMove Robotics & Vision and KPI Solutions combines AI-driven 3D vision, adaptive dual-robot technology, advanced cubing software and Opto WES’s integration to automate depalletizing and mixed-SKU palletizing. This synergy delivers real-time order orchestration, dynamic SKU handling and unmatched flexibility, transforming one of the most labor-intensive processes in beverage distribution. The process begins with robotic depalletizing, where a high-speed robot equipped with proprietary 3D vision and AI algorithms identifies and localizes individual products on donor pallets, even when packaging graphics change. Products are then organized by SKU into dedicated buffer lanes within a flow rack. On the opposite side of the buffer flow rack, a second robot performs robotic palletizing, retrieving items one at a time to build dense, stable mixed-SKU pallets. Advanced cubing software determines optimal pallet layout, applying stacking rules for product type, size and weight to meet store requirements.
