At musical instrument retailer W-Music Distribution in Marktneukirchen, we were able to take automation to the next level. Two picking robots with AI-supported image recognition from Hörmann partner Sereact are replacing the manual storage and retrieval of articles in AutoStore containers.
In the incoming goods area, the first robot takes over the sorting of articles from trolleys and places them directly into the AutoStore. Thanks to the use of zero-shot learning and Sereact's "PickGPT", picking robots can now recognize and pick new objects without prior programming or data input. In the outgoing goods area, a second robot removes the required items from the bins and places them in transport boxes for shipping. The existing conveyor technology is adapted accordingly and integrated into the HiLIS warehouse management system.
