BEUMER robotpick: autonomous bulk parcel singulation

BEUMER robotpick is an autonomous robotic picking and singulation system for parcel hubs. It transforms mixed bulk parcel streams into a continuous flow for automated induction and sortation.

Combining computer vision, intelligent robot control and adaptive vacuum gripping, the system handles a range of common parcel types while reducing manual intervention at one of the most labour-intensive stages of parcel processing.

Turn bulk parcel streams into a continuous singulated flow

Bulk parcel streams contain items in different sizes, shapes and orientations.

BEUMER robotpick identifies, picks and positions individual parcels to create a controlled flow for downstream induction.

With the correct parcel mix and operating conditions, the system can automate 99.9% of the bulk handling process, helping parcel hubs reduce reliance on manual singulation and maintain the supply of parcels to automated sortation.

BEUMER robotpick combines robotic picking, parcel singulation and automated induction within a single solution.

By connecting directly to downstream parcel handling systems, it helps create a more predictable material flow from bulk handling through to sortation.

Features

  • Proprietary computer vision and robot control technology
  • Adaptive vacuum gripping for different parcel characteristics
  • Dynamic robot movements based on parcel size and complexity
  • Automated recirculation of unpicked or dropped parcels
  • Modular architecture with independently operating robot cells
  • Operational monitoring through BEUMER SCADA and performance analysis through BG Insight
  • Reduced reliance on manual bulk parcel singulation
  • A continuous, singulated flow for automated induction and sortation
  • Handling of common parcel types across mixed bulk streams
  • Capacity that can be expanded as parcel volumes increase
  • Reduced interruption through independent robot cells and parcel recirculation
  • Operational visibility and data-supported maintenance planning

Adapt the pick to each parcel

BEUMER’s proprietary computer vision system analyses each parcel and identifies a suitable pick point.

The robot adjusts its movement and vacuum gripping strategy according to the parcel’s size and characteristics.

This enables BEUMER robotpick to handle cardboard boxes, polybags, carton bags and letters, while unpicked or dropped parcels are automatically returned to the bulk flow for another attempt.

Mixed parcel streams rarely stay consistent throughout the day. As parcel sizes, packaging types and flow characteristics change, BEUMER robotpick continuously adjusts its picking strategy to maintain a stable supply of singulated parcels for downstream processes.

This helps operators manage changing parcel profiles without relying on fixed picking patterns or manual intervention.

Expand capacity while supporting availability

The modular architecture supports a standard configuration of one to four independently operating robot cells on a single bulk feeding line, with further cells added as requirements grow.

Each cell can process up to 1,600 parcels per hour, depending on parcel mix and operating conditions.

Individual cells can be stopped for servicing or software updates while the remaining cells continue to operate.

Because each robot cell operates independently, operators can add capacity incrementally as parcel volumes increase.

This modular approach simplifies investment planning by allowing automation capacity to be aligned with current demand while retaining the ability to expand in the future.
