Everything Under Control: The AMI Gripper System in the Smart-FlexDEPOT

The AMI gripper system is a highly advanced automation solution designed specifically for use in automated order-picking machines. It is based on a dual-rotating 360° system that enables fast, precise, and gentle handling of goods. Regardless of the type of product—whether boxes, bottles, or other containers—the gripper system ensures safe and damage-free storage and retrieval. Thanks to its high rotation speed and precision, the cycle time per item is significantly reduced, and the overall efficiency of the process is optimized. As a central component in the order-picking process, the gripper system ensures error-free and rapid processing, which significantly increases the system’s overall performance.

Precision Gripping – Versatility in Action

The AMI gripper system in the SMART-FLEXDEPOT impresses with its reliable handling of a wide variety of packaging shapes. Bottles, cans, tubes, boxes, and many other dimensionally stable items are moved quickly, safely, and gently. The precise gripping technology ensures smooth operations and high efficiency in every order-picking process.

Smart Pallet Technology for Perfect Order Picking

The SMART-FLEXDEPOT maximizes storage capacity by utilizing the entire load carrier as usable storage space. All stored goods have individually assigned storage locations and can be quickly and efficiently put into or removed from storage via direct access. If necessary, orders can be fully picked and prepared directly on the load carriers.

The load carriers are made of lightweight, rigid materials used in aerospace engineering and ensure high stability and durability. The height categories of the load carriers can be automatically adjusted to changes in the product range without requiring user intervention. This allows for flexible and rapid adaptation of the system to changing requirements and ensures high efficiency throughout the entire warehousing process.
