Partners Deliver World’s Fastest Automated Bin Picking Solution
Fizyr, providing capable vision AI; Cognibotics, an innovator in robotics technology; and Zivid, a provider of industrial 3D cameras, have unveiled what is claimed as the world’s fastest automated bin picking solution. The Cognibotics HKM1800, with the market’s longest reach and fastest bin-to-bin pick and place capabilities, is supported by Zivid’s 2+R-series 3D camera and Fizyr PANOPTIC, Fizyr’s advanced vision software, to identify and process products, pick priority, grasp position and place verification.
“For years, logistics and automation professionals have been working on solutions to tame the chaos and improve throughput speeds of item intake in highly dynamic environments. By combining three best-of-breed components into one solution, we have delivered unprecedented speed and accuracy,” said Ken Fleming, CEO of Fizyr.
The Zivid 2+R-series camera captures true-to-reality point clouds, even when presented with shiny and transparent objects, in under 150 milliseconds ensuring it does not limit the cycle time of the Cognibotics HKM1800, which achieves an impressive pick rate of up to 2,000 articles per hour and covers a workspace of 10m2. Fizyr PANOPTIC handles segmentation, shape detection and material detection; sequences pick order; identifies object grip location; selects the right gripper; and directs the order of operations for a 99.5% success rate.
“The combination of Cognibotics, Zivid, and Fizyr brings unprecedented reach, speed and adaptability to bin picking,” said Fredrik Malmgren, CEO of Cognibotics. “Our HKM1800 robot, with its 10m² reach and up to 2,000 picks per hour, enables groundbreaking solutions and layout possibilities previously thought impossible.”
“Automated picking solutions are limited by the weakest link in the component chain,” said Mikkel Orheim, Zivid SVP Sales & Marketing. “Partnering with companies like Cognibotics and Fizyr that consistently push the boundaries of what’s possible inspires us to deliver cameras like the 2+R series that excel in the most challenging environments.”
