KNAPP (Booth B7632) announced the release of its “Mission: Zero Touch” solutions to the North American market at a booth press conference Monday.

Zero Touch uses a variety of technologies, including KNAPP OSR Shuttles, PiE Robots, OSR Shuttle Evo Frozen and its intelligent pocket sortation, explained Jusef Buzimkic, chief sales officer. The glue for the application is a layer of software technologies, delivered by KNAPP including WMS, WCS and AI enabled technologies across the spectrum of KNAPP products.

The intent of zero-touch, Buzimkic said, is to eliminate unnecessary touches that can be handled reliably by automation at high throughput, rather than do away with all human labor. “It’s all about adding value and eliminating unnecessary touches,” he said.
