FANUC America and Plus One Robotics have paired their technologies to create a flexible fulfillment solution that meets the needs of e-commerce customers.
This solution incorporates a FANUC robot and Plus One’s AI-powered PickOne perception system to identify and sort conveyable items without requiring traditional vision training. The AI-powered system can adapt to variations in product material, size and shape, as well as intermixed, random delivery. If any exceptions occur, Plus One’s “Yonder” human-in-the-loop function notifies a “Crew Chief” who can remotely manage the exception, minimizing the interruption and providing seamless sustained automatic operation. Combined with a high-performance FANUC industrial robot, the companies say the system can outperform a comparable manual operation. Users benefit from shorter pick times, better order accuracy, enhanced inventory security, higher productivity, reduced operating expenses and improved ergonomics.
