The ItemPiQ robotic picking solution includes a seven-axis LBR KUKA iiwa lightweight robot that picks products from a source tote and places them where needed with high speed and extreme delicacy. To recognize objects in the source tote, the vision system includes two cameras and an intelligent software algorithm.
The 3D camera generates point clouds from the viewed objects, while the 2D camera identifies the contours of the objects to be picked.
Then, integrated software calculates the ideal gripping points and sends them directly to the robot control, enabling the vision system to detect unknown products in the box, simplifying the teaching process. Highly sensitive, the robot’s grippers handle the items to be picked very delicately.
Company Product Description:
ItemPiQ is unbeatable in its flexibility and intelligence:
- ItemPiQ can easily cope with changing assortments. Its multifunctional gripper can handle a wide range of diverse products thanks to four different grasping methods, selected according to the products being picked and placed.
- ItemPiQ sets the base towards artificial intelligence: Our intelligent vision system is able to detect unknown items, simplifying the teaching process.
- In general, processes can be optimized by sharing tasks efficiently between robot and worker.
- Standing on a moveable base gives ItemPiQ optimum flexibility - it can be used at different workstations.
- Using a sensitive robot as the core component of ItemPiQ ensures intuitive operation for every operator and combines Swisslog logistics know-how with KUKA robotic technology.
- ItemPiQ can be combined with Swisslog’s existing intralogistics solutions, such as AutoStore and CycloneCarrier.
- To ensure a reliable and constantly performing operation, all components and the SynQ software are seamlessly integrated.
