…their own docks. In fact, Santagate says vendors like Daifuku’s Wynright division, for instance, designs and markets robots that are specifically designed for use on the dock. Its industrial, robotic arm includes a manipulator or “endo factor” that can grab material off a vehicle and place it onto a conveyor system that, in turn, removes the products from that vehicle in a highly automated fashion. Yaskawa Motoman’s robotic automation solutions are also being used for loading and unloading trucks, Santagate says. Equipped with a robotic arm and gripper—the latter of which can attach to a mobile conveyance system—the machines enter…

…senior vice president of innovation and technology development for Wynright, a wholly owned subsidiary of Daifuku North America Holding Co. “This requires the use of 3D vision technology and algorithms to logically find and separate the pile of product into individual units.” Only a few robots have been implemented into full-time production so far. But as the technology is refined, producing better cube utilization and less product damage, Criswell anticipates the adoption of robotics will begin to accelerate. Truck loading robotics: The same types of robots can be used to load products as well; the only difference, of course, is…

…frames to the robots. Developed by a system integrator (Wynright), the solution employs in a lab setting a postponement and work-in-process strategy more commonly found in industrial manufacturing environments. The mini-load acts as buffer storage for work in process—lenses ready to be fitted to frames or frames waiting for the right lenses to come out of the grinding and polishing stations. The mini-load features three aisles and 1,050 storage locations and tracks almost 30,000 frames and lenses. When all of the components for an order are present and ready for finishing, plastic totes are automatically conveyed from the mini-load to…
