By: Automation World In a recent blog post, Sarah Mellish of Yaskawa noted that "traditional bin picking methods have given way to order fulfillment picking approaches, moving the complexity of the process from the hardware to the software. This is important because of the physical modifications required to meet supply chain variability today." To address this evolution in technology to meet industry demands, Mellish noted that, for nearly a decade now, Universal Logic has been integrating artificial intelligence, sensing and robotics into automated systems. In particular, she noted Universal Logic's Neocortex AI software platform, which enables robotic cells to handle the item diversity, container variation and process changes required for piece-picking order fulfillment without additional engineering or programming. In 2016, Yaskawa Motoman collaborated with Universal Logic to design and introduce the Neocortex Goods to Robot (G2R) Cell—a pre-engineered adaptive picking solution that uses intelligent 3D vision and interactive motion control to identify and handle unsorted items "with a level of speed and accuracy that exceeds human ability," Mellish said. "This work cell is the first plug-and-play robotic solution targeting high-mix/high- The work cell can perform 900 picks per hour at peak speeds of up to 27 picks per minute when needed and is touted as being highly flexible not just for its ability to handle a variety of pick-and-place applications, but for its obstacle avoidance as well.
