Multi-pick end-effector picks and holds up to 36 items simultaneously and packs four orders at a time.

Description:
Unlike end effectors that handle a single item at a time, the multi-pick robotic end effector from Material Handling Systems (MHS) can pick up and hold up to 36 items simultaneously and pack four orders at a time into four separate shipping boxes. Working as part of a goods-to-robot fulfillment system, this package offers a throughput rate of 90,000 pieces picked and 42,000 orders fulfilled per day.

Analysis:
Today’s e-commerce landscape pushes supply chains to meet faster service levels and overcome labor challenges in the face of intense cost pressures. MHS’ multi-pick end effector uses advanced technology to help companies reduce dependency on a shaky labor pool, control costs, and boost output.
The multi-pick robotic end effector breaks new ground for robotic order fulfillment with an end effector capable of processing large numbers of items to plan for and pick higher quantities and then act as an on-demand buffer, holding some items while packing orders of various quantities as available. The multi-pick robotic end effector is a step forward for pick-and-place robotic technology in logistics and offers meaningful productivity advantages for businesses with large amounts of multi-item orders to fulfill. – Steve Crowe
