VarioPick is our highly efficient robotic dynamic picking solution that addresses the growing challenge of labor shortages. Designed to flexibly enhance your sorting systems, it picks items fully automatically, doubling speed and throughput compared to manual processes. VarioPick features a unique gripper built to handle items of varying shapes and materials.
It is ideal for automating labor-intensive processes involving a wide variety of items. The robot loads gaps or cells on dynamic moving belts, places items on inductions and culls out non-machinable items. Deep learning technology helps accurately identify an item’s size, shape, material, position and optimal gripping point.
Dynamic culling
VarioPick is used to detect and remove items from a bulk stream, including culling small non-conforming items, volume splitting, and format splitting.
Capable of picking weights up to 5.0 kg (~11.0 lb.), VarioPick achieves an impressive throughput of up to 3,000 picks per hour at a conveyor speed of up to 1.0 m/s (~200 fpm).
Induction loading
Another application of VarioPick is placing small items onto semi-automatic induction. VarioPick simultaneously removes items that do not conform to predefined standards while ensuring that items are aligned as they are placed on the induction belt.
Leveraging its capability for automatic sorter induction loading, the system achieves operational throughputs of up to 3,000 picks per hour. It can handle pickable weights of up to 7.0 kg (~15.5 lb).
Dynamic belt loading
Induction of small items by placing them onto running belts is a further application of VarioPick. At the same time, it removes predefined non-conforming items while ensuring that remaining items are correctly oriented as they are placed onto the induction belt.
With an induction rate of up to 2,600 items per hour, this solution significantly enhances operational efficiency. VarioPick can handle weights of up to 7.0 kg (~15.5 lb).
