Applied Manufacturing Technologies (AMT), North American automation engineering for warehousing and logistics, just announced the launch of ROBiN. This Robotic Induction System is a flexible material handling solution for efficiency and throughput gains in the warehousing industry, the company states.
Developed by AMT, ROBiN is a robotic AI-enabled system designed to improve the process of removing and organizing layers of products on pallets for integration into automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). Utilizing advanced AI and machine vision technology, ROBiN is engineered to handle a diverse range of case sizes and shapes, without prior knowledge of the number of cases on a layer, their specific location or orientation, according to the company. This capability allows ROBiN to optimize the fill density of totes, ultimately increasing efficiency in warehouse operations.
“We are excited to launch ROBiN, our flexible material handling solution, which was designed to significantly enhance efficiency and throughput in warehouse induction operations,” said AMT President Craig Salvalaggio in a news release. “ROBiN’s unique and adaptable design supports various case dimensions and operates effectively without needing to know in advance the count of cases per layer or their precise placement and alignment. This flexibility enables us to meet our clients’ diverse operational needs and drive forward the capabilities of automated systems.”
