Automate 2017 - Kinema Systems Announces World's First Deep Learning 3D Vision System for Industrial Robots

A large part of the worlds commerce moves in boxes arranged on pallets. Depalletizing boxes in warehouses, distribution centers and factories is a difficult task that has become more challenging with changing demographics and an increase in product mix. Kinema Pick is the worlds first Deep Learning 3D Vision system for industrial robots. It addresses the depalletization of both mixed SKU and single SKU pallets.

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A large part of the worlds commerce moves in boxes arranged on pallets. Depalletizing boxes in warehouses, distribution centers and factories is a difficult task that has become more challenging with changing demographics and an increase in product mix. Kinema Pick is the worlds first Deep Learning 3D Vision system for industrial robots. It addresses the depalletization of both mixed SKU and single SKU pallets.


Kinema Pick integrates the KS1000, a high-resolution 3D/2D sensor with deep-learning and 3D Vision to find and locate boxes on complex pallets. Kinema Picks advanced motion planning brings self-driving abilities to industrial robots, making Kinema Pick easy to configure for any workcell layout. Kinema Pick is robot-agnostic and can be integrated with industrial robots from all the leading vendors. Kinema Pick can also be integrated with different types of vacuum grippers, bringing flexibility in the choice of hardware for varying sizes of pallets and types of boxes.

Kinema Pick achieves high pick rates for mixed SKU pallets, enabling customers to easily keep up with their upstream requirements and providing quick ROI. Easy configuration and setup through a browser-based GUI minimize integration and bring-up time.

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.
