Siemens SIMATIC Robot Pick AI Review: Features and Uses of the Deep Learning Picking Software
Updated: 7 days ago
SIMATIC Robot Pick AI is Siemens' deep-learning software that tells a robot where and how to pick items it has never seen. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Robot Pick AI acts as the brain of a picking cell: it recognises items in a newly arrived box, chooses a picking approach and adapts the grip to the product type, without needing a 3D model of each item. In a system developed with Mecalux in Barcelona, it drives a cobot that places items into order boxes using Mecalux's space-optimising algorithm, under Mecalux management software, running 24/7 at up to 1,000 picks per hour. The Siemens page does not list hardware requirements, success rates or specific robot models.
