ItemPiQ from Swisslog is designed for repeated, reliable picking of a wide range of items to fulfill fast delivery of orders at low operating costs. The robot cell can be integrated with WMSes and automation offerings such as AutoStore, and can be used for tasks like sortation, picking and placing. Thanks to its multi-function gripper, the robot can handle a wide variety of common products in retail, e-commerce and pharmaceutical industries weighing up to 3 kg. ItemPiQ’s picking is optimized by applied AI over time. It uses 3D vision technology to identify objects in the source bin. It consists of a 3D sensor detecting a point cloud as well as identifying the product contours. In combination with the AI-based software algorithm, the vision system determines grasping points of new products, which is essentially advantageous in operations with thousands of SKUs as no teaching process for items is required.
