CasePick Systems Emerges From Stealth Mode as Symbotic
Symbotic offers solutions for Intelligent Supply Network Automation
Symbotic (formerly CasePick Systems) today announced its new name and website www.symbotic.com as part of the company's re-launch, which is backed by a broader vision to provide innovative automation technology for customers to substantially lower operating costs by increasing storage capacity, handling throughput rate and volume.
"Symbotic is delivering the most disruptive robotic material handling solution developed specifically for the supply network," said Jim Baum, CEO of Symbotic. "Symbotic has spent the last four years developing a completely new approach to storing and handling of packaged goods that enables the distribution network to fundamentally operate more efficiently and at lower costs."
Manufacturers, retailers and distributors are facing changes and challenges in such areas as environmental sustainability and high capital for their warehouses. The Symbotic solution offers higher storage density, automated material handling, flexible integration, and simplified operations - all at a much lower cost.
Other automated storage or warehouse solutions on the market today lack space efficiency, are highly complex, have high capital cost, and are difficult to deploy into existing infrastructure.
The Symbotic solution is a compelling alternative to traditional material handling systems. Symbotic's innovative approach to storage and retrieval uses a highly parallel network of fast autonomous robots operating in a high density storage rack system. The solution can be easily configured to meet the customer's requirements for individual cases, automatically build pallets and store-friendly shipments.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
