In manufacturing, many steps involve the use of bulk goods. To process these goods, typically a single workpiece needs to be picked from a bulk and loaded into a machine often in a defined orientation. In many cases, human workers still carry out this step. By using modern bin picking technology this step can be automated using a vision system and a robot. This can lead to cost reduction. ROBOTT-NET has strong experience in bin picking. Some partners have even developed their own bin picking solutions.
ROBOTT-NET offers the following services for bin picking:
Market study
Competitor Analysis
Automation potential analysis
Concept development
Proof of concept study
System evaluation

The Danish Technological Institute:
DTI has developed a robotic platform for mixed pallet picking/packing for large retail warehouses. The solution uses a unique gripper to be able to pick a large variety of objects, while also being able to turn the objects to allow for packing the mixed pallet optimally.
Fraunhofer IPA:
Together with Arnold AG and FORMHAND Automation GmbH, Trumpf Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co KG Fraunhofer and DTI have initiated a pilot project that aims for an easy-to-use multipurpose robot that is capable of grasping and manipulating sheet metal parts in various scenarios.
MTC:
MTC has worked with Nissan in the voucher “Automated parts picking into kits” and designed and built a custom robot end effector combining magnetic, pneumatic and parallel gripping capabilities for handling a large variety of automotive components.
