New robotic solution from Fizyr and Yaskawa targets food and life sciences

by

Fizyr and Yaskawa Europe has delivered a new automated hygienic handling solution for the food and life sciences industries.

The system utilizes Yaskawa’s new HD-series robots, Fizyr Panoptic vision AI, a binpick food cell from Van Wees Waalwijk, and programming support from Alpha Robotica.

The initial installation is for a salad production company, where two HD7 robots place pieces of raw peppers and bags of salad dressing in bowls of lettuce.

Fizyr Panoptic accurately determines the position of the objects and the correct placement position. Designed for mobility, the machine can be wheeled to the correct place on the production line. [Read more…] about New robotic solution from Fizyr and Yaskawa targets food and life sciences

Picking the Unknown: Robust and Flexible Robotic Automation in Logistics

by

The global pandemic has radically impacted the supply chain and logistics industry, making the need for robotic automation more urgent than ever. With more than 70 percent of labor in warehousing being dedicated to picking and packing, numerous companies are gradually investing in logistics automation.

But what happens when the robots must handle an unlimited number of (unknown) stock keeping units? These companies need a fast, reliable, and robust way to automate picking and placing of a large variety of objects.

This challenge was taken up successfully by the Dutch company Fizyr. The computer vision company based in Delft focuses on enabling robots to pick unknown objects even in harsh logistics environments. [Read more…] about Picking the Unknown: Robust and Flexible Robotic Automation in Logistics
