Fizyr, Cognibotics and Zivid claim ‘world’s fastest automated bin picking solution’

by

Fizyr, a provider of vision AI, Cognibotics, a robotics technology developer, and Zivid, a specialist in industrial 3D cameras, have partnered to unveil the world’s fastest automated bin picking solution.

The Cognibotics HKM1800, with the market’s longest reach and fastest bin-to-bin pick and place capabilities, is supported by Zivid’s 2+R-series 3D camera and Fizyr Panoptic, Fizyr’s advanced vision software, to identify and process products, pick priority, grasp position and place verification.

Ken Fleming, CEO of Fizyr, says: “For years, logistics and automation professionals have been working on solutions to tame the chaos and improve throughput speeds of item intake in highly dynamic environments. By combining three best-of-breed components into one solution, we have delivered unprecedented speed and accuracy.” [Read more…] about Fizyr, Cognibotics and Zivid claim ‘world’s fastest automated bin picking solution’

Yaskawa partners with Fizyr for industrial machine vision

by

Industrial robot maker Yaskawa and deep-learning machine vision provider Fizyr have defined a non-exclusive go-to-market strategy for Europe, with the goal to facilitate the implementation of robotic automation that relies on AI based computer vision.

The area of interest for this cooperation is warehouse logistic and its high-speed item picking, automatic parcel sorting, palletizing, depalletizing and trailer unloading of objects of varying sizes and shapes.

This is a field in which AI based vision is crucial for robotic automation to be successful. [Read more…] about Yaskawa partners with Fizyr for industrial machine vision

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
