FANUC’s Authorized System Integrator Exotec designed a fully automated picking module called the Skypicker that uses a FANUC M-20iD/12L robot to pick goods carried by Skypod AMRs and place them into fulfillment containers. The Skypicker leverages machine learning algorithms to pick and place items intelligently.
Equipped with an order mover, the Skypicker can prepare up to four orders simultaneously and handle as many as 600 items per hour. Products weigh up to 2 kg with a minimum picking surface of 2 x 2 cm. Cameras and sensors automatically detect each item’s dimensions to pick and place them in a way that optimizes the available space.
360° moving capabilities.
Quickly moves objects weighing up to 2 kg.
Can prepare up to four orders simultaneously.
The Skypicker can help mitigate workforce gaps during overnight shifts, staffing shortages or particularly busy periods of the year. Moreover, the patented software identifies the best picking trajectory in real-time, improving the performance with heavy and fragile packages.
An ideal solution for tight workspaces, the M-20iD/12L robot features a small footprint, slim profile, and curved J2 arm that minimizes interference with other equipment. Its 2272 mm reach provides an extremely large work envelope. In addition, a large and hollow wrist and arm for fully integrated cable management helps simplify installation.
