The multi-pick robotic end effector breaks new ground for robotic order fulfillment with an end effector capable of picking large numbers and then acting as an on-demand buffer, holding some items while packing orders of various quantities as available.
The solution can pick up and hold up to 36 items simultaneously and can up to pack four orders at a time into four separate shipping boxes. It uses computer vision and advanced artificial intelligence to manage incoming order requirements and use the 36 individual graspers to pick and pack orders, and even act as a buffer to help manage overall product flow.
As e-commerce order volumes continue to reach new heights, customers continue to expect speedy delivery and labor challenges persist, necessitating solutions that can reduce dependence on a shaky labor pool or increase an operation’s throughput. Unlike robotic picking solutions that handle a single item to fill one order at a time, the multi-pick robotic end effector from MHS can pick and hold up to 36 items simultaneously and pack four at a time into four separate shipping boxes. The capability to handle such a large number of items enables the end effector itself to act as an on-demand buffer according to LEAN best practices – a task typically reserved exclusively for accumulation conveyor or other automated components in order fulfillment scenarios.
The solution offers a throughput rate of 90,000 pieces picked and 42,000 orders fulfilled per day, assisting distribution and fulfillment, parcel and e-commerce operations to meet rising customer demand for fast, accurate delivery.
Key Product Features:
The multi-pick robotic end effector from MHS is a pick-and-place robotic fulfillment solution designed to support operations with large amounts of multi-item orders to fulfill. Three key features include:
- Unlike robotic picking solutions that handle a single item to fill one order at a time, the multi-pick robotic end effector can pick up and hold up to 36 items simultaneously and pack four orders at a time into four separate shipping boxes.
- The capability to handle so many items at a time enables the end effector itself to act as an on-demand buffer according to LEAN best practices – a task typically reserved exclusively for accumulation conveyor or other automated components in order fulfillment scenarios.
- Working as part of a goods-to-robot fulfillment system, this package offers a throughput rate of 90,000 pieces picked and 42,000 orders fulfilled per day.
