RightHand Robotics, a provider of autonomous robotic piece-picking technologies, has released its next-generation, integrated software and hardware product platform, RightPick2.

RightPick2 is responsible for the core task of picking and placing individual items as part of a wide range of warehouse workflows and processes. The platform works in conjunction with logistics facility employees and existing manual or automated systems, to provide businesses with a “vital productivity boost as part of a lean and highly efficient material handling process,” RightHand Robotics says.

The latest generation of RightHand Robotics’ RightPick platform, RightPick2 combines new skills based on an AI-enabled vision and motion control software with deep learning known as RightPick.AI.

The platform is equipped with significant hardware upgrades, including RightHand’s GripperV5 5th-generation intelligent gripper with two kilograms payload; the latest Universal Robots e-Series commercial-scale, collaborative robot arms; and Intel RealSense Depth Camera D415 for precise measurements and low overall system cost.

“The RightPick platform has successfully completed 10 million picks (MPicks) autonomously across many industries, including e-commerce, retail, pharmaceuticals, grocery, and more,” says Leif Jentoft, co-founder of RightHand Robotics.

“Building on this experience, RightPick2 sets a new standard for speed and dependability. Being able to reliably pick a wide range of items at a high rate helps distribution and fulfillment centers improve overall customer experience, making them more competitive in the global marketplace.”

By excelling at the 3Rs of robotic piece-picking—Range, Rate and Reliability— RightPick2 puts predictable capacity in the hands of warehouse operators, RightHand Robotics says. Capable of picking and placing thousands of SKUs, the platform fulfills orders at high speeds while playing a crucial role in consistently getting customers what they ordered.
