Mecalux has unveiled a state-of-the-art technological solution to optimize order picking: an innovative collaborative robotic picking system based on the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This robotic picking system is the result of a collaboration between Mecalux and Siemens, which merge their knowledge and experience in industrial automation technologies. The picking solution, developed at Mecalux’s technology center in Barcelona, has been designed to operate 24/7 and execute up to 1,000 picks per hour. A camera positioned above the cobot’s picking box captures a 3D image of the goods to prepare the orders. The AI algorithm has been pre-trained with millions of items to offer out-of-the-box performance.
