Taisei (TYO:1801) and Fanuc (TYO:6954) have jointly developed an automated picking system that extracts varied products from mixed pallets using AI-driven 3D vision and automatic ID matching, according to a press release on Friday.
The system addresses issues like picking errors, product damage, and labor shortages by fully automating unloading and shipping processes, the companies said.
The new system maximizes storage efficiency by enabling mixed-load operations, effectively utilizing warehouse space and improving outbound processing capacity, the companies said.
This also reduces capital costs by limiting the need for new construction or facility expansions, they added.
Fanuc's shares rose 4% in recent trade.
