NEXT-GENERATION SOLUTION FOR INTRA-LOGISTICS FULFILMENT
Siemens, Universal Robots (UR), and Zivid have joined forces to create a groundbreaking solution that streamlines warehouse automation and solves the persistent challenges of intra-logistics fulfilment tasks.
The partnership represents a significant leap in solving the complex challenges faced by the logistics and e-commerce sectors. Modern fulfilment centres are characterized by the automated transport of large quantities and varieties of stock-keeping units (SKUs) and the new solution is specifically developed to offer the industry a reliable and trusted solution for the picking of these items, regardless of their shape, size, opacity, or transparency.
The solution is composed of the latest cutting-edge technologies:
- Siemens' SIMATIC Robot Pick AI, a pre-trained, deep learning-based vision software, empowering robots to perform tasks previously limited to manual intervention.
- Universal Robots' UR20, with its extended reach and compact design, enabling automation of applications requiring the lifting of heavy objects over longer distances, while maintaining UR safety standards (The solution works seamlessly across the entire UR cobot family).
- Zivid's innovative 2+ M130 camera is the first 3D sensor capable of imaging everything, including transparent and translucent items, expanding the accessibility and pick ability for e-commerce and fulfilment applications.
“By combining our 3D vision solution with Siemens and UR, we offer a robust solution that addresses the evolving needs of the logistics and e-commerce sectors," says Amy Landau, Product Marketing Engineer at Zivid.
The trusted, already-deployed solution will be displayed at the Hannover Messe on April 22-26 and at Automate in Chicago May 6-9.
