InPicker
Solving bin-picking challenges with 3D robot vision

01 Overview

Some industrial materials like black and absorbing rubber gaskets are considered challenging in conventional bin-picking systems. INFAIMON developed a complete bin-picking system called InPicker featuring Zivid One+ cameras to make bin-picking easy even for the challenging objects.

02 Background

INFAIMON is an international company dedicated exclusively to machine vision and image analysis technology for over 25 years. The company introduced InPicker to solve multiple bin picking challenges using Vision Guided Robotics (VGR). 

InPicker consists of a hardware solution (Vision + Robot) and software (image analysis + communications) that allows to extract randomly sorted parts from containers. It is designed to collect, evaluate, and identify object data for picking and placing components used in various picking applications such as unit picking, rack picking, random bin-picking, belt picking, and semi-structured bin-picking. It addresses most of automated picking challenges in automotive, pharmaceutical, logistics, and e-commerce industries.

03 Challenge

Some objects like black and light-absorbing rubber gaskets can be hard to capture with typical industrial 2D or 3D cameras, especially when they are randomly stuck and overlapped together. It often causes longer processing time and increasing the risk of errors in imaging data.
