Automatic robot manipulator technology:

Dematic presented the Flex Truck ARM container picking system at its stand. The solution comprises a Flex Truck AGV, intelligent navigation software, the ARM and an image recognition system. The ARM (Automated Robot Manipulator) is particularly suitable for distribution centers, where it automatically assembles or depalletizes pallets and can also load or unload trolleys and forklift trucks. The Flex Truck industrial truck will be in beta testing from April, the company explained.
