Cognivix
Robustness for operations in mixed human-robot environments and flexibility
to adapt to frequent changes in production
AI Vision for Robotic Manipulation
Cognivix is at the vanguard of robotics innovation, targeting the evolution of high mix low volume (HMLV) manufacturing. As manufacturing trends towards digitalization and closer consumer proximity, our AI-driven solution introduces a cost-effective, flexible, and robust system to automate tasks historically dependent on skilled labor.
Technology
Leveraging the latest research results in machine learning and thanks to our proprietary data acquisition technology, Cognivix can automate robotic grasping and manipulation in high-mix low-volume processes.
Our vision system is able to plan accurate grasps in low or sharp light and is unaffected by clutter. This makes it adaptable to work in factories that are not planned for traditional automation.
Changes in the production line are quickly taken care of thanks to an automated and simple to use data acquisition system that can move a new part to production in less than a day.
Solutions
bin picking
Single-camera operation: The camera mounted on the robot can manage multiple bins, eliminating the need for multiple cameras.
Direct picking: Our system can pick directly from the delivery box, removing the need for additional cells.
machine tending
Multi-tasking: One robot can tend to multiple CNC machines as the vision system moves with the robot and eliminates the need for calibration
Flexibility: When combined with bin picking, it offers maximum flexibility in operations.
assembly
Design adaptability: Changes in parts design can be accommodated without altering the assembly routine with our intuitive data acquisition station.
Human collaboration: The adaptive AI allows for seamless collaboration with human workers.
SIMPLIFY SETUP AND ADAPTATION FROM DESIGN TO PRODUCTION IN 24H
Our technology has versatile applications across the production spectrum, concentrating initially on bin picking, assembly, and machine tending, especially CNC loading and offloading. A standout advantage in the context of machine tending is the elimination of robot calibration to specific machine positions. Instead, a mobile robot, guided solely by our vision system, can efficiently tend to multiple machines. This flexibility drastically reduces setup times and enhances production fluidity.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Our system’s capability to work in varied conditions, be it low-light environments or cluttered spaces, makes it ideal for environments where humans and robots collaboratively operate, epitomizing the future of manufacturing.
