MHS to showcase turnkey automation solutions, robotics at ProMat 2019
At ProMat 2019 MHS will highlight its capabilities as a complete, single-source provider of automated material handling systems, and showcase its latest robotic innovation - a singulation system to automate the sorter induction process.
MT. WASHINGTON, Ky. (March 28, 2019) - MHS (www.mhsglobal.com) is coming to ProMat, the largest supply chain expo in North and South America, from April 8-11 at Chicago's McCormick Place. In booth #N6539, the company will highlight its capabilities as a complete, single-source provider of automated material handling systems, and showcase its latest robotic innovation - a singulation system to automate the sorter induction process.
In the past two years, MHS has made several key acquisitions of controls, software and equipment providers, including Atronix, VanRiet, OCM and others to expand capacity, product offering, and research and development capability. The company has an extensive presence throughout North America and Europe, and offers access to sortation, conveyor, storage and retrieval, order fulfillment, software, maintenance and other solutions.
"As we celebrate significant growth and expansion, our commitment to going above and beyond for our customers remains as high as ever," says Rush Fullerton, vice president, MHS. "We are well-positioned to serve the needs of distribution center projects of all sizes, and ProMat is the perfect place to showcase that."
The ProMat booth demonstration features a virtual reality experience that invites attendees to compete against the company's latest robotic innovation. The robotic solution automates the sorter induction process by using a combination of advanced computer vision, controls, gripping technology and a five-axis delta robot to pick items from bulk flow and properly orient them in a single-file stream for downstream processes.
In addition, company representatives will be on-site to discuss the rest of the MHS portfolio, including Lifecycle Performance Services (LPS). LPS is the compan'ys aftermarket support group, offering a variety of solutions and services to keep automated systems running at peak efficiency, including upgrades and modifications, supply and management of OEM parts, remote asset monitoring, predictive maintenance and more.

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.
