Description

SOTO Robot is the supply chain robot that brings materials to the assembly line, just-in-time and completely autonomous.

Advantages

Economical

SOTO helps to keep inventory levels low and delivers replenishment exactly when it is needed. It works up to 18 hours per day – for processes that are not only more efficient but also significantly cheaper.

Groundbreaking

The intelligent robot SOTO integrates seamlessly into the Factory 4.0. It can be flexibly configured, relieves the employees and works safely and efficiently alongside machines, vehicles and people – for optimum production planning.

Intelligent

Production logistics becomes smart: with sensors, 3D cameras and the intelligent ACROS operating system, SOTO can perceive its environment, react intelligently to changes and even learn from experience.

Skills

The autonomous supply chain robot SOTO is ideal for industrial and production processes. Thanks to its intelligent software, it can react flexibly to changing requirements, completely replace pick carts and tugger trains, or interact usefully with them. It deals with an increasing number of products using a clever gripper system that can handle different totes in different positions and heights.

Perception using 2D and 3D cameras

SOTO uses 3D cameras to locate and identify totes. Its 3D camera locates the object, while the 2D camera scans barcodes and identifies the correct tote.

Totes up to 15 kg

SOTO can grip classic totes with a weight of up to 15 kg and a maximum size of 600 x 400 x 300 mm (L x W x H). It can pull the individual transport boxes from flat surfaces or conveyor belts, as well as from more complex positions such as flow racks.

High transport capacity

Depending on their size, SOTO can store up to 10 totes in its backpack at one time. It transports loads with a total weight of up to 150 kg.

Action range from 5 cm to 250 cm

With its telescoping gripper, SOTO can handle both full and empty totes at a height of up to 250 cm. It can even reach totes that were previously inaccessible to human workers.

Safe navigation

Certified laser scanner scanners at the front and rear allow SOTO to navigate freely at speeds of up to 1.5 m/s. They also guarantee safe operation around people and vehicles. Depending on how close an obstacle comes, SOTO reduces its speed to a stop or searches for an alternate route.
