For Immediate Release
ROCHESTER HILLS, MI – (March 5, 2025) – FANUC
America, a global industrial automation leader, will showcase its latest
industrial and collaborative robotic solutions for warehousing and logistics
at ProMat 2025. The event, held at Chicago’s McCormick Place from March
17-20, will feature several all-new applications designed to enhance
efficiency and productivity.
“As consumer demand for faster delivery and a wider variety of products
continues to grow, automation has become an essential driver of FANUC's
ongoing innovation,” said Anthony Cantrell, Executive Director for
Warehouse and Logistics at FANUC America. "By enhancing efficiency and
increasing productivity, our wide variety of warehouse solutions are not only
meeting the evolving needs of the industry but creating smarter and more
rewarding warehouse jobs. ProMat 2025 provides an excellent platform for FANUC
America to demonstrate our commitment to this sector and the critical role we
play in it.”
Showcased technologies include the following applications:
- All-New Mobile Robotic Order Fulfillment
Featuring FANUC
CRX-10iA/L
cobot and OTTO 600 Autonomous Mobile Robot
Leveraging the mobility of an autonomous mobile robot, a mounted
CRX-10iA/L with 1,418mm of reach retrieves and kits various
products while simultaneously parking to charge the mobile robot while
unloading products from its AMR-mounted bins to table.
- All-New Full-Layer Depalletizing
Featuring FANUC M-410/800F-32C industrial robot
FANUC’s new M-410/800F-32C showcases high-payload palletizing,
powered by FANUC’s new
R-50iA
controller. Using a powerful modular layer gripper, the robot’s
800kg payload allows it to handle extremely heavy product, significantly
increasing productivity as it picks and places full layers of product from
one pallet to the next.
- All-New Tote Consolidation
Featuring FANUC M-10/12-14D industrial robot
Demonstrating pick-and-place technology that improves the warehouse
experience for workers, FANUC’s
M-10/12-14D
industrial robot communicates with FANUC’s 3DV and 2D iRVision
cameras, and an RFID reader, to pick and identify various items for tote
consolidation.
- All-New Label Inspection
Featuring FANUC CRX-10iA
In this 3DV vision demonstration, attendees are invited to use the
CRX cobot’s easy three-button wrist to free-hand teach and program the pass
or fail inspection of cardboard package labels.
- Cart-to-Cart Palletizing and Depalletizing
Featuring FANUC’s M-710/50-26D curved-arm industrial robot
Using PalletTool and artificial intelligence (or AI) box detection, two
3DV vision mounted cameras identify hard-to-decipher box edges in stock
carts, depalletizing and palletizing as they efficiently pick and place
into the deep containers.
FANUC’s M-710/50-26D
robot’s curved arm allows the robot to seamlessly reach in and out
of these narrow carts without difficulty.
- Vertical Put Wall Pick and Place
Featuring FANUC CRX-10iA with Power Motion I Model A Plus
FANUC’s
Power Motion i Model A Plus
(PMi-AP) offers CNC-style motion control alongside a
CRX-10iA cobot outfitted with FANUC
3DV vision
to demonstrate pick-and-place order fulfillment and easy integration of
FANUC robots with FANUC CNC. Easy to deploy and scale, automated put walls
improve productivity in warehouses and distribution centers by increasing
order fulfillment while decreasing labor costs.
FANUC America's new technologies will be on display at Booth N-8301. Attendees
will have the opportunity to see live demonstrations, interact with FANUC's
robotics and speak to experts, as well as learn more about how these advanced
solutions can benefit their operations.
