Summary of Innovation
SIMATIC Robot Pick AI is a pre-trained, deep learning based vision software for piece picking robot applications that is used for autonomous bin picking primarily in warehousing and e-commerce applications. The system does not need to be trained on the parts being picked – any unknown part can be picked from a bin, this means the number of skews being picked are endless, the parts can continually change without any interruption or training required. SIMATIC Robot Pick AI requires no special AI knowledge to setup and is completely hardware agnostic – meaning customers can select their preferred robot, 3D camera, gripper, etc…
Today, more than 90% of all picking tasks are still performed manually, accounting for a significant portion of operating costs, while labor shortages, consumer demands and competition remain on the rise. SIMATIC Robot Pick AI provides robots with the capability to pick any unknown product with a success rate of more than 98% on the first pick attempt making operations more efficient and increasing productivity.
Innovation Statement
This unique AI empowered picking solution can be commissioned by the average engineer without any knowledge of artificial intelligence, it is pre-trained and straightforward to setup. This solution is also hardware agnostic – the user can choose their robot, camera system, gripper, etc., making it very flexible and customizable to the customers needs, and integrating easily into existing automation systems.
Applicability
Today, more than 90% of all picking tasks are still performed manually – an extremely cost and labor intensive activity – SIMATIC Robot Pick AI has the ability to perform these tasks autonomously, picking up any unknown object (no training required), greatly improving operational efficiency and reducing costs in warehouse and general e-commerce applications.
