Dual robot singulator voted top conveyors and sortation product of 2021

Mt. Washington, Ky., Feb. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MHS (www.mhsglobal.com), a single-source provider of material handling automation and software solutions, took home a 2021 Readers’ Choice Product of the Year Award. The MHS dual robot singulator beat out three other competitors in the conveyors and sortation category, as voted on by readers of Material Handling Product News and MaterialHandling247.com.

Designed for parcel logistics operations, the dual robot singulator uses two robotic arms to automate the process of placing items from bulk flow into a single-file line, which is often required for downstream processes such as sortation and labeling. Powered by proprietary MHS vision and sensing technology, the robotic arms work in tandem with a variety of end effectors to grasp and place a diverse range of packaging types and item sizes. The solution is capable of singulating up to 3,000 parcels per hour, and includes built-in rejection pathways to address out-of-spec packages.

The solution can be seamlessly integrated to work as part of larger automated systems. It can also work with MHS Helix, a modular warehouse execution system (WES), to provide the control and visibility warehouse managers require.

“Customer expectations for fast delivery continue to grow while the labor force shrinks,” says Dean Terrell, senior vice president, research and development, MHS. “Solutions like the dual robot singulator allow operations to adress their most critical problems and ultimately reduce their labor dependency while boosting efficiency and accuracy.”

The dual robot singulator is one of several pick-and-place robotic solutions the company offers, including the multi-pick end effector, which was recently honored with an RBR50 Innovation Award by Robotics Business Review. MHS Robotics also offers autonomous mobile robot (AMR) solutions, including options such as detachable carts and conveyor supplements for handling application-specific requirements like large and irregularly shaped items.

MHS Robotics develops advanced technologies in-house and in collaboration with organizations like the University of Louisville Speed Industry Research and Innovation team and the Louisville Automation and Robotics Research Institute. The company also engages a range of independent robotics suppliers to develop and deploy robotic solutions for a range of applications. To learn more about MHS Robotics, click here.
