Fizyr, Cognibotics, Zivid Release World's Fastest Automated Bin Picking Solution

Fizyr, Cognibotics and Zivid partnered to unveil what is said to be the world's fastest automated bin picking solution.

The Cognibotics HKM1800 is supported by Zivid's 2+R-series 3D camera and Fizyr PANOPTIC(TM), Fizyr's advanced vision software to deliver long reach and fast bin-to-bin pick-and-place capabilities.

"For years, logistics and automation professionals have been working on solutions to tame the chaos and improve throughput speeds of item intake in highly dynamic environments. By combining three best-of-breed components into one solution, we have delivered unprecedented speed and accuracy," says Ken Fleming, CEO of Fizyr.

"Automated picking solutions are limited by the weakest link in the component chain," says Mikkel Orheim, Zivid SVP sales and marketing. "Partnering with companies like Cognibotics and Fizyr that consistently push the boundaries of what's possible inspires us to deliver cameras like the 2+R series that excel in the most challenging environments."

"The combination of Cognibotics, Zivid, and Fizyr brings unprecedented reach, speed and adaptability to bin picking," says Fredrik Malmgren, CEO of Cognibotics. "Our HKM1800 robot, with its 10m² reach and up to 2,000 picks per hour, enables groundbreaking solutions and layout possibilities previously thought impossible."

Key takeaways:

• The Zivid 2+R-series camera captures true-to-reality point clouds, even when presented with shiny and transparent objects, in under 150 milliseconds ensuring it does not limit the cycle time of the Cognibotics HKM1800, which achieves a pick rate of up to 2,000 articles per hour and covers a workspace of 10m2.
• Fizyr PANOPTIC(TM) handles segmentation, shape detection and material detection; sequences pick order; identifies object grip location; selects the right gripper; and directs the order of operations for a 99.5% success rate.
