Fizyr partner with Dero to develop ‘advanced robotic picking’

Fizyr, a provider of vision AI for robotic systems, has formed a new strategic partnership with Dero Group, an expert in food processing and robotic automation solutions.

This partnership marks a “significant milestone in the pursuit of highly efficient automation in complex, high-variability tasks within food processing and logistics sectors”, say the companies.

Fizyr empowers systems and robotics integrators with its industry-leading vision AI and other resources needed to automate the most intricate tasks in dynamic environments.

Combining with Dero’s “deep expertise and stellar reputation” in automation solutions drives remarkable advancements in tailor-made production automation.

Ken Fleming, Fizyr CEO, says: “The partnership between Fizyr and Dero Group is not just a step forward for both companies, but a leap towards the future of robotic automation in food processing, supply chain and logistics sectors, promising to make operations smarter, faster and more efficient.

“Dero Group’s history of innovation and expertise in robotics and automation aligns perfectly with Fizyr’s mission to enhance robotic capabilities and performance.”

The partnership with Dero follows the recent unveiling of the Fizyr Partner Program, offering integrators the fastest on-ramp to tap into the exponential growth that lies ahead.

Research from Interact Analysis predicts the market for robotic picking will be worth $6.8 billion by 2030, up from $236 million in 2022.

Maro Dedel, CEO of Dero Group, says: “Food processing and logistic companies are experiencing high pressure on their throughput, alongside labor shortages and rising costs. Automation can provide relief while increasing production and lowering costs.

“Fizyr’s advanced computer vision is the perfect complement to our existing robotics solutions. Together we can continue to solve the challenges that have held back automation at a time when the world needs it most.”

Fizyr’s approach to supervised machine learning, featuring cascade learning, is a game-changer in the industry. This method streamlines and accelerates robotic performance, drastically reducing the typical 3-20 percent error rates associated with high-variability tasks.

With success rates in mature applications reaching 99.99 percent, Fizyr’s technology ensures robotic mistakes are a rarity, often occurring just once in every 10,000 picks.
