Swisslog ItemPiQ Review Summary
ItemPiQ is Swisslog's piece-picking robot for goods-to-person stations. Its gripper offers four ways of grasping and chooses among them for each product, changing gripper by itself when needed. A vision system finds gripping points on items it has not seen before, and the picking strategies improve with use, so no teaching, programming or CAD models are required. It attaches to AutoStore ports and to Swisslog's conveyors, and connects to any warehouse management system through a standard interface.
