Collaborative Robotic Order Fulfillment

Autonomous Order Fulfillment Centers with FANUC Cobots.

FANUC’s newest autonomous order fulfillment, bin transfer, and shelving system helps supply chain businesses overcome the labor shortage.

How the System Works

Using the Tablet TP, a worker can select pick orders from a variety of consumer items. One of two CRX-10iA cobots using an iRVision 3DV/200 vision sensor mounted on its arm scans QR codes on a shelf and the items to confirm the correct products are being picked and transferred to a bin on a table. A CRX-20iA/L cobot, also using the iRVision® sensor, locates a full bin and places it on a LOCUS autonomous mobile robot (AMR). An empty bin on the AMR is located and placed on the table by the cobot.

Next, the AMR moves from the order fulfillment area to the shelving side where the CRX-20iA/L picks an empty bin, places it on the AMR, and places the full bin on a table. The CRX-20iA/L can pick consumer items of varying sizes and shapes that weigh up to 20kg. A second CRX-10iA with a fixed iRVision 3DV/600 vision sensor locates and picks products from the full bin, scans each according to its RFID tag, and places it back on the correct shelf.
