Brightpick, a manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots, announced a high addition to his current line on Tuesday. Suitably called Giraffe The system is observed by a large, drawn platform that is capable of reaching up to 20 feet (6 meters) in height to select items from the warehouse shelves. It is a new approach to warehouses with ceilings that have well pulled out standard Amr and their human associates.
Giraffe realizes the feat via a telescopic arm with three segments that overlap that are measured 8.5 feet when they are fully prepared. Instead of constantly extending and pulling 11.5 feet at once, the system is designed to work in tandem with an existing Kentucky autopiker robot. That AMR, which has two supply buckets, meets a larger robot halfway by stretching up to 11 feet.
The system resembles Telescopyoping robots of warehouse Outfit Dexory based in London, although the last “DexoryView” platform is simply containing shelf scan sensors. The giraffe has a very heavier task of transferring the contents of the shelves.
Dexory’s main competition for high -shelves inventory warehouses are startups to scan on the basis of drones such as AI collection, Verity and Corvus. In fact, raising and starting useful loads, however, is too intense for quadcopters resources, so they probably won’t break the giraffe lawn soon.
A more appropriate comparison is automated storage and search systems offered by companies such as hitchhios and Kardex. Their firmly lined mesh solution is expensive to set up, it is difficult to repair and are generally less flexible with stock sizes. On the other hand, Brightpick’s order selection solution contains a cruise of AMR and retreating in stock from traditional warehouse shelves.
Bionichive offers another solution in the form of their ligu systems, which are driving on the paths set on the shelves to find stock. Amazon invested In this Israeli startup of robotics in 2022, as part of its Industrial Innovation Fund.
In a quickly automated warehouse and logistics, there is a lot of room for a wide range of different factors and solutions.
Brightpick threw out a giraffe for two main customers of 2025. The e-commerce salesman from the feed will hire six giraffes together with 73 autopickers at the Colorado facility. The McGuff Company’s medical supply company distributes more modestly four giraffes and a dozen autopicker in the warehouse in California.
Brightpick claims that the Giraffe/autopicker overalls allows the 3x manual warehouse density, to the human surgery, while doubles its existing solution.
