Automated load handling

Automated load handling requires the machine to know precisely the starting position of the load and its final destination. A vision system provides both as spatial coordinates, updated in real time and sends them to the machine control system.

This applies to an operating vehicle, a crane or a robotic arm. In each case you gain repeatability and independence from the human operator.

Vision system for automated load handling

Load position

Detection of load position and geometry on all three axes, with ITEM DepthCam Mono3D, Bi3D or multi-camera configurations.

Area mapping

3D dimensional checks and mapping of the unloading area, to identify the placement point and any obstacles.

Automated actions

Corrections, slowdowns and stops, over any industrial communication protocol.

Spatial coordinates

Millimeter precision in depth estimation

With our single-camera Mono3D DepthCam we obtain the position of objects of known dimensions with accuracy up to 1 cm at a distance of 4 meters.

With the Bi3D stereo camera pair we work on loads of any shape, with millimeter accuracy and a relative error below 0.1% on the Z axis.

We also design multi-camera configurations, with mounting frames built in-house.

Analysis and communication

From data to real-time automation

We interface with PLCs and on-board systems through any industrial communication protocol.
Video processing runs on our GPU hardware, delivering up to 150 TOPS and handling up to 20 high-resolution video streams simultaneously, with real-time performance maintained even during AI inference.

Parallel checks run on the same system: handling guidance can be managed alongside human detection in the operating area or other types of visual checks.

engineering

Customized technical consulting

We always start from an analysis of the specific case, design hardware and software, integrate directly on the machine and test under real operating conditions.

We deliver a fully operational system, not a kit to be configured. Subsequent changes and updates can be handled remotely.
