Drone picking at Interpack
At Interpack CSi will show a drone picking and placing cases.
Many articles have been written about the possible applications of flying drones in the industry, but few applications have reached the level of a functioning prototype. At Interpack visitors can get an idea of what will be possible in the future at the CSi stand.
The drone is adjusted for the task as it has to position accurately and it has to be able to lift cases of several kilos. Both software, hardware design tweaks were necessary to make it happen. A tool had to be designed that does not need any external input. It does not need any pneumatics or electricity to be able to clamp and grip a case. The tool is being patented. Stand 12A35
