Summary

Order-picking, i.e. arranging work-pieces of different types on a pallet, which is nowadays often carried out manually, will in future be more and more automated for economic reasons. The industrial robot in combination with an intelligent gripper, a supporting palletizing and order-picking software and a suitably designed periphery will permit fully automated order-picking. The Fraunhofer-Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (F.R.G.) has developed such a system which takes advantage of the arrangement of the work-pieces in the compartment stack and simultaneously grips the work-pieces that are then arranged in a pattern on a pallet.
