ORDER PICKING AUTOMATED BY ROBOT

Siscodata s.r.l Italy  has developed in cooperation with Neobotix GmbH a mobile robot that can run from station to station with an approximation of +/- 2 cm (1 inch) and adjust later by vision system the picking position .
Typical application  are order picking along the warehouse aisle .The system receive the list of  order picking
and moves along the warehouse aisle stopping in front of the rack cell where the items have to be picked .
The precision is as said +/- 2 cm thanks to the LIDAR navigationals system that follow the road confrontating the memory map with the scanned location (wall + mark reflector).A vision 2D/3D system is correcting the picking guiding the omni-gripper system to picking the number of items programmed in the order  and depositing the in the special basket trolley moving together to the main unit along the aisle.
The standard robot arm has 6 axis with a payload of 3-4 kg  while may be increased up to 16 kg with special systems.The unit has on board the computer and the driver unit powered by the platform base battery.
