Plus One Robotics’ 3D and AI software will be integrated with Tompkins Robotics’ autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) creating a flexible picking system, following a partnership between the two firms.
“Joining tSort with Plus One’s induction robots is marrying two innovative and cutting-edge robotics solutions that offer end customers expedited and accurate parcel and unit sortation,” said Mike Futch, president and CEO of Tompkins.
“The combined system will provide for greater flexibility not only in warehouses, but in distribution centres as well as restocking in stores.”
According to the collaboration, the AMRs will be able to quickly identify new package shapes and types making it ideal for e-commerce fulfilment roles and for distribution centres.
Brent Barcey, vice president business development for Plus One Robotics, added: “Supply chains and warehouses are stretched now more than ever with higher demands for faster material processing and the constant challenge of manpower shortages. This partnership will allow us to deploy scalable solutions for customers looking for significant reductions in operating times and costs.”
