…for its Pixmo robotic offering for truck and container unloading. The patent-pending add-on includes a vertical lift with a conveyor belt that is attached to Pixmo between the robot and the boxes to be unloaded. The integrated Pixmo software quickly processes the various heights of the boxes in the container and then controls the conveyor of the add-on to move up and down to these positions to “meet” the robot arm as it unloads. The add-on, according to Anyware Robotics, enhances unloading efficiency, weight capability and reliability at marginal additional cost. Pixmo arm expands unloading throughput Every year an estimated…

…to increase throughput HAIPORT is an automatic loading and unloading machine that can be docked with HAI ROBOTICS’ ACRs and conveyor workstations. At a HAIPORT-powered Workstation, multiple loads of totes or cartons are unloaded from the HAIPICK robots at the HAIPORT loader. They are then transferred onto conveyor belts for sorting per system orders and moved to the HAIPORT unloader, where they were fetched by robots for the next round of order processing. The collaboration between the HAIPICK robots, HAIPORT, and the conveyor allows one-stop case handling from inbound to outbound orders, said HAI Robotics. With case loading and unloading…
