Universal depalletization solution that works out-of-the-box

Robots unloading pallets - the next revolution in logistics
The depalletization solution can be fully automatic or semi-automatic. It all starts with a pallet loaded with boxes being placed inside of the range of the robot. This can be done either manually or automatically, depending on the features of the depalletization line. The 3D vision device (PhoXi 3D Scanner) then performs a scan of the pallet and transfers the scan into a 3D texture data set. The advantage of this is that this way the data set is not influenced by light conditions and it can be used for a flawless recreation of the boxes shapes.
These shapes are then processed by a machine learning algorithm. Thanks to the large database of taught boxes it can immediately translate the 3D data and recognize each box separately. Afterward, it is only about sending the right command towards the robot that will perform picking with an accuracy of +- 3 millimeters. This way the whole pallet will be unloaded box after box quickly and with minimal or no need for human interaction.
This universal depalletization solution can be deployed in any applications that require the unloading of pallets laden with boxes one by one. The range of industries that can benefit from employing intelligent, vision-guided robots in their depalletization applications is thus absolutely open, including modern logistics, e-commerce, fulfillment, and warehouse operations.
