…used by major parcel couriers, including UPS, FedEx and DHL. Plus One's customers want faster cycle times for their applications. “In an each picking situation, you might do seven orders a minute,” Nieves said. “We have to live at 25 plus cycles per minute. So the robot never stops moving, which means the vision processing has to happen at that cadence.” Rather than develop a generalized AI model to accomplish tasks, Nieves said Plus One has created a purpose-built, “adaptable” AI specifically for parcel picking. “A generalized model has to learn a bunch of stuff it may never use. An…
