March 9, 2020 – Kindred released the SORT 3.7 piece-picking robot. The SORT 3.7 system features eight additional cubbies, for a total of 27, translating into a 42% increase in the number of items it can sort at e-commerce fulfillment centers and warehouses.
The updated SORT 3.7 is optimized to integrate with continuous induction systems, such as cross belt or bombay sorters, as it can pick 400 units per hour consistently. When a Kindred SORT is paired with a primary sortation system, fulfillment centers can double the number of items one employee oversees and ships out. Collaborating with SORT, associates on average can ship up to 850 units per hour.
SORT piece-picking robots utilize AutoGrasp, a robotics intelligence platform that identifies and selects items to pick and place. AutoGrasp combines vision, grasping and manipulation algorithms to handle clothing, poly bags and other small rigid items. Kindred uses AI research and human-in-the-loop data methodology to continuously improve robot capabilities so that picking becomes smarter, faster and more accurate over time.
