DrugRob Automatische Beladung von Rollcontainern In order to realize the automated loading of rollable transport units a typical transport unit used by DHL with cubic goods a robot based system has been developed. With a performance of 900 parcels per hour the system works fast and efficient. It picks the parcels from a conveyor belt and transports them into the rollable transport units which are mounted around the robot. The new developed gripping system is able to grip up to three parcels at time. The focus on low-cost-automation resulted in a system with low-level sensor-technologies but with high flexibility and process reliability. It is possible to commission parcels of different size in up to three rollable transport units at the present moment but the system can be enlarged with up to two more transport units. A pilot phase at the company APO-Logistics and in cooperation with ThyssenKrupp Krause GmbH is already accomplished successfully. Contact persons: C.
