VarioPick

Mono Gantry 2.0: Redefining Speed, Sustainability, and Efficiency in Warehousing Körber’s Layer Picker technology enables our customers to handle up to 4 layers at the time and 98% of all product- and packaging types which makes it the most versatile solution on the market. And with more than 700 installed Layer Pickers across the world, it has become an industry standard. However, the new Mono Gantry represents a breakthrough in warehouse automation, blending innovation and practicality to address industry challenges. Engineered with cutting-edge magnetic technology and a modular design, this Layer Picker Gantry sets new benchmarks for speed, energy efficiency, and environmental impact. Key USPs of the innovation: Unmatched Speed and Precision The Mono Gantry achieves an improvement of throughput of up to 38% over its predecessor, enabling up to 226 picks per hour. Magnetic linear servo technology delivers rapid acceleration and stops with pinpoint accuracy, eliminating wear-related tolerances. Sustainability and Energy Efficiency : A regenerative braking system captures kinetic energy, using it to power the Layer Picker head or feed it into the warehouse grid, saving up to 13,000 kWh annually per system. Compact modularity reduces freight requirements, enabling transport in standard 40-foot containers, cutting emissions from transportation. Streamlined Maintenance and Assembly : The system features a design free of elastic parts, gearboxes, and rubber tires, significantly reducing maintenance needs and ensuring long-term reliability. Modular assembly minimizes installation time and footprint, supporting quick deployment and scalability. | VarioPick is a highly efficient robotic solution for dynamic picking. It has been designed for flexible enhancement of sorting systems. The high-speed solution picks predefined items from a moving bulk stream for singulation purposes or for culling of non-conveyables. Features include an AI-based recognition system, an advanced control system and an innovative gripper technology. Deep learning helps VarioPick to precisely identify an object’s shape, size and packaging material, and to determine the optimal gripping point. Highly scalable, VarioPick can be easily adapted to varying process demands, fluctuations in required throughput and more. The solution is flexible and includes the robot which is best suited for to the respective use case.
