An omnidirectional AGV, a refrigeration solution, an order picker and a system for unloading sea containers; the nominees for the Logistica Award 2019 are running wild, to say the least. Get to know contenders Eurotec, VebaBox again here, Copal Handling Systems and Robomotive.
Eurotec
Eurotec's Lowpad is a very low, compact, omnidirectional AGV in multiple versions. This AGV can carry almost all existing load carriers, even Danish trolleys or retail roll containers. It operates safely among a company's staff, allowing logistics processes to be gradually automated.
Copal Handling Systems
Copal Handling Systems is competing with the Container Unloader, an automation solution for unloading shipping containers with loosely loaded goods. The machine is equipped with scanning software, 3D-vision technology, laser sensors and cameras that recognise the entire process and determine the best gripping sequence. The Container Unloader drives into the container and can pick up the load all the way to the back of the container using a telescopic belt and specially developed grippers.
Robomotive
The Robomotive box pick cell is an order picker. The robot can pick boxes and individual items within a range of three metres. Thanks to a 3D camera system and adaptive gripping technology, there is no need to use AI or deep learning.
The box pick cell can pick around four hundred items per hour, with an availability of more than 95 per cent.
VebaBox
The VebaBox is an active cooling solution that fits into almost any transport van. The cooling solution can be used as a cheaper alternative to a refrigerated van or can be used to optimise quality and efficiency within the entire cooling chain.
A refrigerated load carrier prevents cold chain breaks, keeping products at the right temperature throughout the chain.
