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’

Bin-picking systems market forecast to grow to $5.6 billion by 2033

by

The global bin picking systems market is anticipated to be valued at $1.7 billion in 2023 and it is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.5 percent to reach $5.6 billion by the end of 2033, according to a report by Fact.MR. 

A bin picking system is a technology in which a robot is incorporated with a 3D, camera, optical sensor (3D or 2D) and an end effector (magnet gripper, and others) to remove parts from a container full of disorganized, irregularly shaped pieces.

Robotic arm receives command based on the analysis done by the computer vision system and the vision system examine the target area and recognize the position of the pieces. [Read more…] about Bin-picking systems market forecast to grow to $5.6 billion by 2033

Zivid to show high precision colour 3D camera for robotic inspection

by

Zivid, a 3D machine vision camera company, will exhibit at Automate for the very first time with newly appointed imaging solutions partner MoviMED.

The company will showcase the Zivid One 3D colour camera integrated with a UR5 Universal Robot in a live demonstration of high-speed part inspection and quality control.

Using an advanced technique of time-coded structured light projection, Zivid’s real-time, high definition, colour 3D cameras capture high-quality point cloud XYZ and RGB data to equip Industry 4.0 robotic and industrial automation systems with a human-like vision capability.

With a 2.3 MPix image size, an acquisition rate of 13 Hz and unique HDR capabilities the cameras produce vivid high definition 3D colour images of challenging semi-shiny, partly reflective and dark objects.

Complementing the live demonstration, Zivid will also be featured in the Automation Solutions & Innovations track of the exhibition conference.

In a joint session, ‘The Latest Advances in 3D Vision’, on Monday, April 8, 2:30pm-4:30pm, Zivid’s VP of Sales and Marketing, Americas, Raman Sharma will give a presentation entitled, ‘Robot Automation Using Human-Like 3D Vision’.

Sharma’s 30-minute presentation will reveal how Zivid’s ground-breaking approach to 3D image capture effectively removes long-endured compromises between system accuracy and speed.

And designed to match the specific needs of a broader spectrum of robotic and industrial automation systems, the company’s new Zivid One Plus (Small, Medium and Large) camera range will also be reviewed.

Pick-it chooses Zivid 3D camera for pick-and-place solution

by

Pick-it and Zivid, two leading players in robot vision hardware and software, have joined forces to accelerate the adoption of robotic 3D vision for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME).

The European based company Pick-it NV has chosen Zivid AS and its 3D colour camera to offer co-bots and industrial robots of all major brands a plug-and-play solution for pick-and-place applications.

Pick-it is releasing the Pick-it M-HD (High Definition) solution consisting of the Zivid 3D camera, an advanced vision processing unit, and easy to use software tools.
