KNAPP highlights new robotic picking solution

In a booth press conference on Monday, KNAPP Logistics and Automation’s Kevin Reader, marketing director, discussed the company’s newest technologies, including the Pick-it-Easy fully automatic picking work cell. Robot-centric and ideal for high-quality picking of slow- to medium-moving items, the work cell is on display in Booth 3747.

“The booth has a sample work cell configuration of the Pick-it-Easy Robot, fully integrated with warehouse management system (WMS), warehouse control system (WCS), conveyor and pocket sorter,” he said, noting that KNAPP recently completed a pocket sorter installation for REI.

“This exhibit is one of a series workstations we offer, centered around a variety of technologies—including vision, pick-to-light and put-to-light—to support a range of automated or semi-automated solutions for goods-to-person picking,” he added.

The company is also sharing a new, cross-platform software user interface specifically to improve operator ergonomics during human/machine interaction, and a remote service and troubleshooting package to help customers diagnose and resolve technical issues quickly.

Additionally, KNAPP’s exhibit in Booth 4962 showcases cubing, scanning, dimensioning, measuring and weighing systems from new group member KHT.
