HMUSA 2022 Conference: Using Automation to Reduce Labor Costs

About the presentation
One significant obstacle facing industries all over the world is high labor costs. Pair this with a shortage of labor in the workforce and a major dilemma begins to arise: how does one build a successful business in a competitive industry while also trying to reduce their costs and grow their employee base? The answer lies within robot-based bin picking. High-level collision detection and path planning allow robots to move independently without any human intervention. High-quality structured light projection creates a detailed 3D map of points so the system can accurately identify the location and orientation of the parts in the bin. Using this technology, 3D machine vision systems completely resolve the aforementioned issues by reducing labor costs and assisting companies with filling positions that are less desirable in today's workforce. This is shaping the way industries function by optimizing production and creating a safer environment in which people can work.
