Automation must never compromise accuracy, particularly in FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) warehouses and distribution centers, asserted John Hayes, Sales Director at BALYO. Read more of Hayes recent article in Automation.com here.
According to Hayes, “Autonomous reach trucks offer 20-30 times more data than 2D perception, offering higher pick/drop accuracy (+/-10mm). Recognition is based on the 3D shape of the pallet. This considers the inside of the pallet, not just the front, and more importantly it recognizes and works with all pallet types.”
Autonomous reach trucks are most valuable in the manufacturing, distribution, and 3PL environment when embedded with infrastructure-free navigation technology. After a decade of research and development, the best-in-class reach trucks use 3D cameras to pick and drop pallets safely. The reach robot drives cost savings and quality improvements. Pick and drop from conveyors, gravity racks, and mobile racks are a few of the numerous application possibilities.
