Logistics Automated Packaging System

System Solution Introduction

Solution overview

We adopt a 3D machine vision system to detect the position and attitude of disordered packages, send the position signal to the robot, and guide the robot to grab the packages. This process efficiently replaces repetitive manual labor and reduces package damage.

Complex packaging environment

  • Positioning: Provide the optimal grabbing strategy and locate the grabbing position
  • Sorting: Distinguish between soft packages and cardboard boxes to prevent the packages from being thrown away
  • Exception handling: Dealing with oversized, overweight, deformed packages or those that are stuck
