Adept Technology to Showcase Robotics Solutions for Materials Handling Applications at MODEX 2014
Attendees Encouraged to Visit Expo Booth 4534 to See Latest Intelligent Autonomous Mobile Robot Demonstrations
Pleasanton, Calif., March 12, 2014 - Adept Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADEP), a
services, today announced that it will showcase a range of state-of-the-art
intelligent robotics solutions ideal for warehouse and distribution center
materials handling applications at MODEX 2014. An event focused on the
manufacturing and supply chain industries, MODEX 2014 will be held March
17-20 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
"From our versatile mobile robots to our advanced vision-guided industrial
robotic systems, Adept is providing a new level of capability in terms of
process efficiency, material traceability, and automation flexibility for
many logistics applications," said Terry Hannon, Adept chief business
development and strategy officer. "We encourage MODEX attendees to come by
our expo booth, watch our live equipment demonstrations, and understand how
our robots can improve the efficiency of their warehousing processes."
At its MODEX booth, Adept will show its "Lynx" intelligent autonomous mobile
robot platform equipped with various payload modules to accommodate
materials movement in a warehouse setting. Designed for swift and flexible
point-to-point transporting, Lynx robots are self-navigating, automatically
avoiding obstacles and instantly planning an alternate route to reach a
goal. Lynx robots deploy without facility modifications and simply connect
with a user's enterprise software system to receive commands.
Adept will also demonstrate a multi-axis "Quattro" robot. The fastest
parallel robot in the world, the Quattro robot is an overhead-mounted system
intended for smooth motion, high throughput applications such as bin
picking, assembly and packing.
Adept's MODEX booth number is 4534. For added convenience, attendees can
make booth appointments by contacting Christine Hopkins, marketing
coordinator, at christine.hopkins@adept.com.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
