Körber is expanding its portfolio with AI-based pick-and-place technology from Sereact. The strategic partnership focuses on integrating robotic solutions for single-item picking into automated production and distribution solutions. An initial joint project with a German mechanical engineering company is already in progress.
When it comes to picking a wide variety of items reliably, quickly, and without time-consuming training, conventional automation systems often reach their limits. This is where the Sereact Pick and Place solution comes in, and it is now becoming part of the Körber supply chain ecosystem.
“Our customers face the challenge of remaining competitive in a dynamic market. As a result, demand for flexible, scalable automation solutions is growing,” explains Michael Heidu, Product & Solution Manager at Körber. “With Sereact, we offer a technology that adapts to changing market requirements while further increasing the efficiency of the overall solution.”
“Our solution enables companies to pick a wide variety of different items flexibly and efficiently – without the need for time-consuming advance training,” explains Ralf Gulde, CEO and co-founder of Sereact. The AI-supported control system analyzes visual and object-related data in real time and automatically adjusts the picking strategies. This means that even complex or unknown products can be handled with precision, which is a challenge for traditional systems.
“The ability to adapt quickly to new products and be productive immediately is crucial to meeting the increasing demands of our customers,” Heidu adds. “In Sereact, we have found a partner whose technology ideally meets these requirements and significantly simplifies automation.”
Through the Körber Supply Chain ecosystem, customers benefit from a wide range of solutions that can be seamlessly combined with one another. Sereact technology offers fully automated picking that can be easily integrated into warehouse and distribution solutions – Körber’s portfolio covers everything from classic technologies such as shuttles and small-parts storage and retrieval machines to modern systems based on mobile robots. This enables companies to make their logistics processes more efficient in line with their needs and reduce their staffing requirements.
“For us, it is crucial to have partners who combine technology with real practical benefits. The combination of Sereact AI and our system integration expertise opens up new possibilities for our customers for efficient, scalable automation,” Heidu concludes.
