Pick-by-Robot - smart man-machine picking process interface
Pick-by-Robot is an innovative way of taking the fatiguestress out of picking tasks - reliably, quickly and without fatigue. A flexible, retrofitted pick-by-robot system is the future-looking alternative to manual picking.
With its patented robobrain® solution, our partner Robominds has created a modular process intelligence platform. Based on artificial intelligence, the smart software modules and cutting-edge hardware components form a unique system for customised HÖRMANN Intralogistics pick-by-robot systems - AutoStore® system, Caja Robotics or state-of-the-art conveyor technology for example. We can develop a system customised to your requirements and industrial sector.

All you need to know about Pick-by-Robot
What is pick-by-robot?
Pick-by-Robot is a full automated picking sytem for handling picking operations. Instead of order pickers, the robot takes over all the operations involved in assembling items for orders.
Our Partner
Robots with artificial intelligence are the future in logistics. In order to provide this next level of warehouse automation at the highest quality, HÖRMANN Intralogistics, with over 35 years of intralogistics know-how and the modular HiLIS Warehouse Management System, has formed a partnership with Robominds, a company that has already been working successfully with AI for years.
Together, the two Munich-based companies have developed a sophisticated, AI-supported pick-by-robot solution that makes picking stations significantly more efficient, and makes intralogistics technologies future-proof, smarter and more flexible.
The solution in detail
A picking robot is predestined for use in multi-shift operations. In a pick-by-robot system like the robobrain® solution, the goods are supplied from the warehouse to the picking workstation via an automatic conveyor system. The articles are picked by the robot from a source bin into one or more target bins.
Instead of the warehouse worker or picker taking items from the respective ,bin or loading aid (picking process), pick-by-robot is fully automated.
The items are picked directly from the bin by a swivel arm with gripper, and deposited in the target bin.
The picking robot receives its orders from the higher-level HiLIS warehouse management system.
The heart of our pick-by-robot system hardware is the flexible swivel arm. With powerful mechanics, simple programming, speed, ergonomic design and integrated camera, it takes over all picking operations.
The processes are all visually recorded by the robobrain-eye. The award-winning robobrain.vision system gives robots fitted with industrial 3D cameras perfect hand-eye coordination, without the need for teaching. This is smart picking at its most futuristic.
With a range of different gripping tools available (like parallel picker or vacuum picker), robots ensure even more versatility
With robobrain.control you can achieve intuitive, smart and simple robot control. Via a user-friendly control interface, you can combine individual instructions in a task and position them in the flowchart simply by drag and drop. Simultaneous control of several robots at one station is also possible with robobrain.control, regardless of the interface.
