Inther Integrated Systems Company Profile

Fully automatic gripper processes more than 1,000 items per hour.

Fully automatic gripper processes more than 1,000 items per hour.

The GRIPP is the the first fully automatic robot picker that has a large reach, is compact and safe, and can process up to 1,200 items an hour.

This type of fully automatic picking technology is unique. Not only because of the large number of products that can be processed, but also because of the flexible and smart use of the robot.

Regardless of the shape of the product, the gripper can pick up the item to be picked.  An “angle of attack” has been built into the software to ensure that the robot approaches the product from the right direction. As a result, the robot gets a better grip and the error probabilities are significantly reduced.

Pre‐sorting or buffering is no longer necessary since the GRIPP is able to process products from one storage bin into twelve order bin locations. The GRIPP also provides a space advantage in the warehouse due to its compact size. In addition, the robot performs measurements: the weight of the product, the negative weight when grabbing the product, the length and width and even the height of the item. This height measurement, conducted with a light sensor, is also unique in the logistics industry. Through these measurements, the robot determines how quickly it can move a product (weight- dependent) and places the various items in the correct bin where they are arranged automatically and
as efficiently as possible.

Key Features:

  • Pre-sorting or buffering is no longer necessary since the GRIPP can pick from one storage container into 12 order containers simultaneously.
  • The machine can pick up to 1,200 items per hour.
  • The GRIPP is capable of picking products that are laying at an angle and can then position them as efficiently as possible into the order container.
