Tompkins Robotics is expanding its robotic solution offerings with the PickPal product series, which is a line of pick assist (PA) autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). There are currently two models in the series: the standard PickPal, which can carry 60 kg of orders, and the PickPal+, which handles up to 100 kg of orders. There are additional PickPal+ models planned to carry more orders, with higher capacity, and that apply pick assist technology to case picking.
Moving at 1.4 m/s, the robots carry orders between workers, and can group orders together to minimise travel and increase productivity. Each model can be fitted with a variety of shelf and tote configurations.
The company says PickPal provides a quickly implemented and low operating-cost robotic technology that can be inserted into existing operations doing order fulfilment in a scalable robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model. The RaaS model has minimal implementation costs and a low cost of ownership while increasing labour savings and capacity improvement, the company says.
