…been difficult to automate fully. Mujin is deploying a goods-to-robot system comprised of mixed-case palletizing robots working in concert with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to pick directly from inventory pallets and build order pallets ready for outbound delivery. “By taking a new approach that includes robotics from initial concepting, robots, autonomous vehicles and other material handling automation can now work in concert to further drive overall performance, savings and reduction in ergonomic challenges,” Cloer added. Planning and orchestration of the overall objectives and individual system tasks are completely managed by MujinController, which communicates to any warehouse management system (WMS) for…

…installation on site. It added that its systems support goods-to-robot (G2R) use cases on the warehouse floor. Cognex solves reading challenges Founded in 1981, Cognex claimed that it is a leading global provider of machine vision hardware and software to manufacturers and distributors. The Natick, Mass.-based company said its products can automate the location, identification, inspection, and measurement of discrete items such as mobile phones, electric vehicle batteries, and e-commerce packages. Cognex said it has shipped more than 4 million image-based products, representing over $10 billion in cumulative revenue. It has offices and distributors throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia.…

…mobile robots (AMRs) are making it possible to feed goods to robots in a more flexible manner. In short, you have multiple considerations when setting up effective robotic palletizing and depalletizing, but AI and vision are increasingly being applied, while other forms of robotics are making it feasible to more flexibly automate inter-connected processes. Why a shuttle? Robotic palletizing cells often get fed cases by high density shuttles, which buffer and feed out cases as needed to build up pallets for store replenishment or distribution, especially when it comes to high volume DCs that might hold 35,000 SKUs, says Heldenberg.…

…forward into robotics within their existing operations,” says Fry. Goods-to-robot anyone? Another leading use for warehouse robotics are goods-to-person (GTP) workflows in which automation like AMRs with rolling shelves, or some type of automated storage system, present goods needed to fill orders to a light-enabled workstation where a human picks the orders. The next logical step in automating this workflow is to use a robotic piece-picking cell in place of the manual pick station or window. Call it goods-to-robot, or robot-to-robot, but it involves integration between automated storage and piece-picking robotics. Among those offering it is Vanderlande, which last year…

…that its robots, machine vision, and control software enable goods-to-robot (G2R) use cases. It uses a FANUC robot arm to automate picking and placing, a task that human warehouse associates have traditionally handled. The company recently launched the OSARO Robotic Kitting System for the assembly of subscription kits. Tracy Perdue, OSARO “Recurring subscription product kits have become increasingly popular with consumers,” Perdue told Robotics 24/7. “E-commerce retailers have embraced this trend because kits can grow revenue and increase sales of slow-moving items. Subscription kits also provide improved revenue predictability and inventory management.” “This new wave of direct-to-consumer online subscription companies…

…integration of Robotic Kitting System OSARO noted that in goods-to-robot applications, its API enables its pick-and-place systems to easily integrate with AMRs and other automation. “We've been increasing our focus on integration and interoperability,” Coffin said. “We're very proud of the API that we've developed because it's versatile. We're able to say, 'Here you go, integrator. Here's this really in-depth operation that you can execute out of this API.'” While OSARO said its technology is modular and designed to work with nearly any robot, its Partner Alliance includes FANUC and a network of systems integrators, as well as 3PLs. The…

…successfully meet its challenges. Easily transition from goods-to-person to goods-to-robot. The FASTPICK AS/RS for order fulfillment improves picking performance with its new Goods-to-Picker 2.0. Vanderlande’s second generation modular workstations provide exceptional ergonomics, reduce picking errors, and require only minutes for operator training. They easily convert to robotic piece picking as throughput demands and labor limitations require. FASTPICK also incorporates Vanderlande’s advanced ADAPTO roaming shuttles for product storage and retrieval. Driven by intelligent software that integrates and orchestrates myriad systems, people, equipment, and item picking robots throughout an operation, ADAPTO roaming shuttles sort and sequence items by order for delivery to…
