Multi-robot orchestration software specialist CoEvolution Technology has launched its products onto the US stage and is now seeking partners in North America. As part of its first appearance at the ProMat industry trade show in Chicago this year, CoEvolution has been showcasing its multi-robot orchestration software solutions.

CoEvolution’s core technology is AI-powered software that can control different types of robots and coordinate them seamlessly, so they operate as a homogenous fleet. Using this core technology engine, the company builds multi-robot orchestration software solutions for customers that are innovative, highly efficient and flexible, including synergised robot control systems, automation process orchestration, and smart logistics simulators.

CoEvolution aims to build the next generation of flexible logistics automation solutions, to help customers quickly adapt to an ever-changing business environment. The company’s team of co-founders bring with them many years of AI and robotics experience. CoEvolution already has more than 30 industry awards and over 20 patents to its name, and it focuses on customer value, continually striving to “co-evolve” with its customers.

Seeking US partners

Having established itself in a number of international markets, CoEvolution is now securing its presence in the US market and seeking to forge new partnerships as part of its ambitious goal to expand its US customer base, open its first US office, and hire a US workforce in the near future.

CoEvolution brings with it mainstream robot vendor partnerships (such as with Geek+) and is actively seeking North American partners at ProMat, including robotics vendors, logistics companies, systems integrators, 3PLs, and others.

Global demand for mobile robots is anticipated to undergo rapid growth over the coming years, with shipments expected to increase by around 50% between 2022 and 2027. Alongside this, the need for multi-fleet orchestration is growing in popularity at an even faster rate, with a forecast CAGR of 138% over the same five years, according to the recent Warehouse Automation Software report from market intelligence specialist Interact Analysis. And the outlook is even better for the US multi-fleet orchestration market, with a predicted CAGR of 147% over 2022-2027.

What is AMR orchestration?

In a traditional robot fleet implementation model, different types of robots are physically separated and operate in different regions within the warehouse, leading to low space utilisation. However, this results in low efficiency in integrating different processes and it is often hard to control traffic for multiple types of robots.

CoEvolution’s system can improve utilisation of space by providing a means of controlling multiple types (brand, navigation, functionality) of robots holistically, and synergised control of a mixed robot fleet can increase efficiency by 20-30%.

Utilising multiple types of robots to create smart warehouse systems leads to high storage density and high throughput, increasing operational efficiency and reducing errors. CoEvolution’s AI-powered multi-fleet orchestration software can also be used in production and processing settings to control different types of robots working collaboratively together as a homogenous fleet to create a complete intralogistics system.

Next-generatoin flexible automation

Michael Wang, CoEvolution Chief Operating Officer, says: “We aim to bring our next-generation flexible logistics automation solutions to the US through successful partnerships. The need for multi-fleet orchestration is growing and we are excited to launch our software into the North American market at ProMat 2023. Having just incorporated in the US, we are ready to do business and are actively seeking partners who will work with us to bring our innovative intelligent flexible logistics solutions to a wider audience.

The Munich-based high-tech startup Toposens has launched its first commercial Toposens 3D collision avoidance system for mobile robots based on the proprietary Toposens 3D ultrasonic echolocation technology. This represents a key milestone for the company following more than seven years of R&D and product commercialisation.

Addressing the unmet need for higher safety of mobile robots in industrial settings, the Toposens 3D Ultrasonic Echolocation Sensor Echo One and Toposens Processing Unit with sophisticated filters for 3D collision avoidance is now available, having been run through rigorous commercial testing in real-life industrial scenarios with reputable mobile robotic companies. This kind of “co-developing” of a high-tech product together with leading tech firms ensures highest levels of performance for the commencing serial deployment.

Detecting the Undetectable

With the autonomous vehicle industry booming and mobile robots, such as automated forklifts, AMRs and AGVs, experiencing exponential growth levels, the safety of humans and machines is kept at the forefront of manufacturing efforts. The market has come to realise that 3D collision avoidance is a necessity, since the obligatory 2D safety LiDARs can only deliver two-dimensional data output not matching highest safety needs.

Due to their physical properties, other 3D Sensor systems, such as LiDAR or camera have limitations in their perception capabilities when for example the optical conditions in their environment are unfavourable or objects like forklift forks are close to the floor. As a result, they struggle to detect objects well enough, making them an unreliable and insufficient collision avoidance solution. In fact, the leading cause of industrial accidents in 2022 has been identified as blocked vision, and the associated costs are forecast to amount to over $2.5bn by 2025 in over 50,000 factories being equipped with mobile robots. Also, the traditional one-dimensional ultrasonic sensor does not deliver the needed data for reliable 3D collision avoidance, as it can only measure simple distance data (= time-of-flight), compared to the 3D point cloud the Toposens 3D Collision Avoidance System is able to generate.

Re-defining robotic safety

Trying to find a way to compensate these shortcomings and provide the market with a best-in-class 3D collision avoidance, Toposens has over the past few years been working towards a commercial version of its 3D Ultrasonic Echolocation Sensor to serve the need for a reliable mobile robot 3D collision avoidance.

Based on the principle of echolocation as seen in bats, Toposens Echo One compensates the drawbacks of optical sensors through sound-based triangulation in combination with sophisticated noise-filtering software. This in turn delivers robust 3D data output in real-time for each obstacle detected within the fully adjustable warn- and stop zones. What’s more, the zones can both be set to dynamically follow a mobile robot taking a left- or right turn and adjust to the speed of the vehicle.

The sensor sends the obtained data (echo reflections perceived by three microphones) in a 3D point cloud format to the Toposens Processing Unit which is equipped with an easy-to-configure advanced 3D collision avoidance software.

From there, depending on which 3D zone violations are detected, the Toposens Processing Unit triggers either a “slow down” or “stop” command to the mobile robot’s CPU. When no zone violations are detected, the mobile robot drives on.

Bat vision versus bad vision

“Being able to detect multiple difficult-to-detect obstacles reliably and in real-time, regardless of environmental conditions, enables us to provide next-level robotic safety for our customers,” says Tobias Bahnemann, CEO and Co-Founder of Toposens. “Our technology addresses the shortcomings of optical sensors, such as LiDARs, which can fail to detect floor-based objects like forklift forks on the floor, in unfavourable lighting conditions or transparent or mirrored object surfaces. Receiving data output in 3D, meaning in x, y, and z coordinates, guarantees the most reliable level of 3D collision avoidance.

“Ahead of production, we have been co-developing and testing our Toposens Echo One in pilot projects and actual real-life set-ups with renowned companies for almost two years. This has put us in a position, from which we can now offer our customers a state-of-the-art, next-level robotic safety system. With 3D collision avoidance capabilities missing in existing sensor solutions, the economic setback of damaged goods, or even expensive production stops as a consequence of undetected obstacles, can considerably limit the ROI of any mobile robot system. This highlights the necessity for mobile robots to “see” their environment using a different kind of vision technology – we call it “BAT VISION” and are delighted to now be moving on to serial production.”

 

Caja Robotics, a leader in robotic and flexible goods-to-person solutions for order fulfilment, and Hörmann Logistik, a leading German-based logistics integrator for innovative warehouse logistics solutions, have announced a new partnership.

The partnership is focusing on close cooperation in offering and implementing warehouse solutions starting with the German, Austrian and Swiss markets.

The robotics company Magazino has acquired MAN as a customer for a pilot project with its SOTO mobile robot. SOTO automates the material supply between the warehouse and the assembly line, by handling and transporting small load carriers (KLT) completely autonomously. The pilot operation started at MAN’s Nuremberg, Germany site in the engine production for trucks, and offers both sides the opportunity to gain experiences with the robot for a future live operation.

MAN and Magazino have had a close development partnership in recent years. Among other things, hardware and software, as well as environment requirements for a live operation in an industrial plant were defined. The pilot project is now scheduled to run for around one year and lays the foundation for the implementation of an entire fleet of SOTO robots in 2023.

Dr Ingo Essel, Plant Manager Nuremberg, says: “We want to set up our logistics efficiently and effectively for the future and use the potential of digitalisation and automation in the process. With the help of SOTO, the entire delivery process can be fully automated, from depalletising in the automated small parts warehouse to provisioning in assembly.

“This way, we are pushing the topic of “advanced robotics” and building a smart supply chain in the interaction of humans and robots. We are pleased to have found a partner in Magazino who can optimally serve our high demands for automation in factory logistics and provide a flexible and scalable automation concept.”

Paul Seluga, Magazino’s Project Manager for the pilot project with MAN, describes the target process as follows: “The robot SOTO picks up the KLTs from the handover-rack of the automatic small parts warehouse and brings up to 18 KLTs simultaneously to the production line. There, SOTO places the KLTs, which can weigh up to 20kg, into common flow racks. On the back of these racks, the workers can easily access the individual parts for assembly. SOTO can also pick up empty KLTs in the process and bring them to the central collection point.”

Common VDA KLT formats up to a size of 600mm x 400mm x 280mm are used in the Nuremberg plant. The robot’s adaptive gripper automatically adjusts to the corresponding KLT size and flexibly moves to the different chutes of the transfer racks. Machine-readable codes on the racks as well as barcode labels on the containers help the robot to identify them. In future, the robot will obtain the material transport requests from the warehouse management system.

While assembly lines in the manufacturing industry are already highly automated and optimised, the supply of replenishments is still mainly done manually. Previous solutions such as tugger trains or simple automated guided vehicles (AGVs) cannot fully automate the process, as manual labour is required for loading and unloading the KLTs into racks.

SOTO combines these elementary logistical processes in a single, fully autonomous solution: the pick-up of different KLTs from a warehouse, the autonomous transport of several KLTs through the production, and the put-down of KLTs into flow racks close to the production line. The collection of empties as well as the rotation of small load carriers by 90° to 180° are also part of its features. The automation and combination of all these process steps clearly sets SOTO apart in the market and, for the first time, enables true end-to-end automation in the material supply.

inVia Robotics – a leader in eCommerce fulfilment automation systems – has been selected by Fulfyld, a 3PL provider specialising in eCommerce fulfilment, to integrate a full WES (warehouse execution system) and AMR (autonomous mobile robots) solution into its Huntsville, Alabama (US) warehouse.

Built specifically to address the unique challenge of random access to inventory required with eCommerce fulfilment, inVia’s robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) suite integration will be deployed into Fulfyld’s existing facilities while it continues fulfilling orders without disruption to daily operations.

The system will include:

• inVia PickerWall system including a fleet of inVia Picker AMRs
• inVia Logic, the AI-powered WES software
• inVia’s Robotics Operation Center (ROC) for 24/7 monitoring and support

Fufyld will benefit from a reliable workforce of inVia Picker robots to do all of the non-stop travelling to retrieve each day’s ordered SKUs and deliver it to inVia’s dynamic put and pick wall where people pick individual items. The result is people walking only inches between picks versus miles, and pick rates increasing 4-5x.

As eCommerce businesses continue to flourish, the needs of 3PLs have rapidly evolved. Traditionally, retail store fulfilment took less labour because full cases and pallets of like SKUs were being shipped. In contrast, eCommerce orders are made up of an ever-changing combination of SKUs, all in small quantities and headed to different locations. This has created the need for more labour, all during a time when labour has never been scarcer.

“We’ve specifically designed our system to increase productivity in eCommerce operations where more labour is required to ship directly to consumers,” says Lior Elazary, CEO and Co-Founder of inVia Robotics. “As consumer demands for next- or same-day delivery increase and labour supplies decrease, we’re able to help 3PLs keep up and meet their SLAs. We are honoured to have been chosen by Fulfyld to automate their fulfilment operations and look forward to helping to strengthen their business.”

inVia’s systems are offered on a subscription basis, where customers pay only for the productivity of the system. There are no big capital outlays or burdens of equipment ownership and maintenance, and technology updates are included in the price of the system. So, as new features and performance enhancements are added, customers seamlessly benefit from the updates. inVia operates the robotics system with 24/7 monitoring and support and ensures labour – both people and robots – is managed throughout the day to get orders out on time.

“inVia’s RaaS model is ideal for eCommerce fulfilment 3PLs like ours, because it allows us to avoid large CapEx, which ultimately helps Fulfyld deliver better pricing to customers,” says AJ Khanijow, CEO of Fulfyld.

“It also extends our operations resources, not only by supplementing our workforce with robots, but also by finding greater efficiencies in our workflows so our teams can work smarter,” says Spencer Mundt, Chief Operating Officer of Fulfyld. “We looked at all of the automation solutions on the market, and only inVia delivered the level of flexibility and productivity increases we needed for the level of service we’re committed to giving our customers.”
