Spotlight on Robotics

June 20, 2023 By: Senior Management | Topics: Automation & Robotics

If you went to ProMat in Chicago this spring, you saw hundreds of robots performing distribution tasks including storage, retrieval, pick assist and sortation. At Sedlak, we are fortunate to be brought up to speed on these technologies on a regular basis when vendors schedule a lunch hour with us to demonstrate their offerings and discuss their recent work.  Five very different robotics applications were demonstrated during Lunch & Learns this spring.

Locus Robotics introduced us to their family of robots, Origin, Max and Vector, each of which is suited to a different distribution task.

Tompkins Robotics demonstrated their very flexible robotic sortation system which featured cross belt or tilt tray bots running on expandable tabletop and sorting to takeaway bots.
