SPOTLIGHT > AFL Autonomous Forklift: The self-driving forklift from Vecna Robotics can move at nearly 7 mph and handle a range of payloads and pallet types. Directed by Vecna’s Pivotal software, the [ IN FOCUS ]
Warehouse Robotics
autonomous mobile robot (AMR) lifts up to 60 inches high to and from conveyors, belts, and wrappers, with a payload of up to 3,000 pounds. AFL automates a range of warehouse workflows including packaging and replenishment, finished goods and end of line, picking and putaway, and work in progress.
> MAiRA XL: The robot from Neura Robotics can automate warehouse workflows including palletizing and picking. It offers a payload of 77 pounds and a reach exceeding 70 inches. With an integrated 360° microphone array and powered by artificial intelligence (AI), the MAiRA XL can respond to human commands. > Movu escala: The 3D bin shuttle system from Movu Robotics is a flexible robotic automated bin storage and retrieval sub-system. Robots move along a rail track that connects each location point within the dense storage and retrieval rack from stow Racking (a fellow stow Group company)— transferring between levels via ramps. This eliminates the need for conveyors, lifts, service aisle access, and sequencers.
> Leleka Robot Arm: Logistics solutions provider Arvato deployed Leleka, a robotic arm that picks and sorts fashion items, at its Hanover site in Germany. Developed completely in-house by Arvato’s research and development team, Leleka utilizes AI-driven vision capabilities to pick and sort large boxes containing hundreds of apparel items. Integrated with the BagSorter system, the robotic arm identifies the optimal spot to grasp each product. It can manage irregularly shaped items arranged randomly in containers.
