SOLUTIONS — SYSTEM—02 / HIGH-SPEED PICKING ARM

High-speed picking.
Rented by the month.

For operations that need throughput, not experiments. Industrial arms at 80+ picks per minute, with vision available where product position varies. One flat monthly fee.

  • TARGET LINE RATE 80+ PICKS/MIN
  • SKU CHANGEOVER TARGET <3 MIN
  • DEPLOYMENT WINDOW 6–12 WEEKS

(02) LAYOUT OPTIONS — WHICH SYSTEM FITS YOUR LINE

Scoped to
your line.

How a picking system is laid out comes down to line speed and how product arrives. From a single arm over one belt to a tracked multi-arm line, the same managed rate scales with throughput.

[A] 1-ARM
IN OUT

Single-arm station

BEST FORA defined range at a sustained rate

One arm over a single belt. The workhorse layout — handles a defined product range at 80+ picks/min with the smallest footprint.

  • VISION1 ZONE — OPTIONAL
  • THROUGHPUT80+ PICKS/MIN
  • INFEEDSINGLE BELT
  • CHANGEOVER< 3 MIN
[B] TRACK
IN OUT OUT

Conveyor-tracking

BEST FORPicking off a moving belt to sorted destinations

The arm tracks product on a moving belt and places to multiple outfeeds — sort by SKU, grade or destination without ever stopping the flow.

  • ARMS1
  • VISIONLINE-TRACKING — OPTIONAL
  • THROUGHPUT80+ PICKS/MIN
  • OUTFEEDS2+ SORTED
  • INFEEDMOVING BELT
[C] 2-ARM
IN OUT

Multi-arm line

BEST FORWhen one arm cannot keep up

Two or more arms in series over the same belt share the pick load, multiplying line rate when a single arm tops out. One managed system, more hands.

  • ARMS2+
  • VISIONPER-ARM ZONES — OPTIONAL
  • THROUGHPUT160+ PICKS/MIN COMBINED

(03) WHY THIS SYSTEM EARNS ITS RATE
[01]

Industrial speed, not a cobot compromise

Cobots stall around 8 picks a minute. These arms hold 80+ under full-shift duty — when throughput is non-negotiable, you get the hardware without the CapEx.

[02]

Gripper and pick path tuned to your range

Gripper, path and speed are set for your exact product range before it ships. Where product arrives in a variable position, a vision system is scoped in as an option. It arrives picking your product, not learning it.

[03]

Scale it with the season

Run it hard through peak, pause it when demand drops, swap systems when the product line moves. Monthly rental keeps every option open.

(04) WHAT'S IN THE RATE — SPELLED OUT

Everything.

One flat monthly rate covers the system and everything that keeps it useful. What's not included is spelled out too — see what's included.

No multi-month procurement cycle. From the first call to the first pallet off your line is weeks, not months — and ARR carries the technical load the whole way.

(06) STRAIGHT ANSWERS
How much does a high-speed picking system cost?

One flat monthly fee, starting from a few thousand dollars a month. The arm, a gripper tailored to your product range, pick path optimisation, integration with upstream feeding, operator training, preventive maintenance, spare parts and 24/7 breakdown response are all in that rate. Vision is the one item quoted separately — it is an option, not part of the base rate, and plenty of lines do not need it. No capital outlay, no separate service contract. Freight, power, compressed air and facility work stay on your side and are confirmed at the site visit.

What line rate can we plan around?

80+ picks a minute on a single arm, sustained through a full shift — not a burst figure. Where one arm tops out, two in series over the same belt share the pick load for 160+ combined under one managed system. We scope the layout against your line speed before quoting.

What happens if it stops?

Breakdown response is 24/7 and included, as are preventive maintenance and spare parts. Nothing lands back on your maintenance team. Weekly performance reviews track throughput and downtime so drift gets caught early.

What is the minimum term?

Twelve months, or 90 days if you start on the pilot. After the minimum term it is 30 days’ notice, no exit fee — which is the point for seasonal programs: run it hard through peak, hand it back when the demand profile changes.

Why not just use a cobot?

Cobots top out near 8 picks/min and aren’t built for hard, repetitive duty — payload, washdown and full shifts wear them down. Industrial arms sustain 80+ and hold up.

Can it handle mixed SKUs?

Yes, if geometry, pack variability and switch frequency are scoped early. Tell us the mix and we’ll confirm the fit before you commit.

Is the vision system included?

No — vision is an option, scoped and quoted on top of the base rate. Where product arrives in a repeatable position you do not need it, and we will say so rather than sell you one. Where position, orientation or product mix varies, we scope vision in as part of the system and support it on the same managed path as everything else — never a bolt-on your team is left to integrate.
