Berkshire Grey (Booth B4207), a provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled robotic solutions, introduced its new Robotic Pick and Pack with Identification (BG RPPi) system, which now includes auto-identification and item manipulation technology, for touchless e-commerce autobagging.

The solution uses AI to discern how to optimally grasp items, holds them up for an auto-ID scan, uses the AI to orientate items of various shapes and sizes for correct placement into an autobagger, then drops or places the item into the autobagger.

“This system helps retailers increase their fulfillment throughput capacity while using sustainable autobagging approaches,” said Kishore Boyalakuntla, VP of product at Berkshire Grey. “With BG RPPi for eCommerce Autobagging, we can now help retailers enable a touchless pick-to-ship fulfillment operation that is fully autonomous, thereby reducing labor dependency and increasing overall productivity.”
