Intralogistics and material flow

Industrial robots constitute a flexible element in material flow automation. New sensor concepts and improved control strategies are continuously extending application possibilities for modern industrial robots. In particular, today’s use of ever-cheaper 3D object recognition sensors and related 3D object recognition software enhance the flexibility and operational safety of industrial robots in intralogistics.
