GRIPP - Gantry Robotic Intelligent Piece Picker

The world of e-commerce is constantly growing, while the availability of personnel is becoming less and less. Therefore, the demand for efficient and fast order picking solutions is higher than ever. To meet this need, we introduced the GRIPP Robot Piece Picker - a fully automatic robot picker that revolutionizes the way orders are picked and processed.

The GRIPP, which stands for Gantry Robotic Intelligent Piece Picker, is a cutting-edge, fully automatic picking technology that offers a compact, efficient, and intuitive solution for order picking. The GRIPP is the perfect robotic system with a unique way of robotic technology to speed up intralogistics systems, without the need for additional staffing. With its ability to process up to 1,200 pieces per hour, GRIPP is designed to increase order picking throughput without needing hands to do so. An effective way to speed up any intralogistics system while reducing personnel costs at the same time. It also takes care of ‘fragile’ products (avoid damages) through its unique gentle way of picking and positioning and keeps getting smarter through learning and development.

Advanced gripper system A key feature of GRIPP is its advanced gripper system, which is equipped with self-learning software that can pick up and conveniently handle any type of product of any shape or size. Whether a fragile product or a product with an odd shape or exceptional packaging, GRIPP has a grip on it. Therefore, the GRIPP Robot Piece Picker is a flexible solution for companies in areas like pharmaceuticals, e-commerce and food.

AI technology GRIPP uses AI vision technology to measure weight, length, width, and height of each product. Therefore, it does not need any product data / product master data, which are often faulty. It also allows the robot to identify defective or incorrect pieces and determine the movement of the gripper based on the weight of the product. With its unique height detection feature, the GRIPP robot can place products in a controlled and efficient manner, preventing damage to the product during the picking process. This makes the intralogistics process run quickly, smoothly, and error-free.

Self-learning software With its self-learning software, GRIPP ensures that each piece is picked and placed in the most efficient order position, allowing more products to be picked in a shorter time than normally, optimizing the picking process and saving valuable time.

Video footage & 3D camera GRIPP features an intuitive user interface, making it easy for operators to interact with it. With live viewing and remote monitoring capabilities, one can keep a close eye on the robot's performance and video footages help customers identify and resolve errors faster. Should something unexpectedly go wrong, it does not disrupt the entire process. The robot's 3D stereo vision camera technology combined with RGB imaging ensures optimal piece picking, and the 4 stereo vision cameras ensure an optimal view inside the destination tote or carton. This ensures controlled and precise piece placement for all subsequent orders.

Latest product innovations include storage and picking development solutions using extended technologies for automation and robotization to prepare customers for more complex future demands, like personnel shortages and sustainability requirements.

The GRIPP currently runs to full satisfaction at a global A-brand player in the field of cosmetics in Belgium. For competitive reasons, our customer has expressed the desire to remain anonymous (company name known to jury).

User feedback/Quote Head of Production: “We are especially satisfied with the GRIPP because of the gentle gripping and placing of our rather expensive cosmetics products, as dents and other damages to the packaging must be avoided at all times to reduce waste and save costs. In addition, GRIPP runs 24/7 when needed in peak times and saves us quite some personnel, which also in Belgium is harder to find nowadays than ever.”
