Conveyco Technologies and Exotec Solutions have announced a strategic partnership for North America.
Exotec is disruptor for Goods-To-Person System Manufacture. Exotec is combining Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) with a high-density automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS).
Conveyco Technologies, a leading systems integration company for over 40 years, has designed and implemented countless order fulfillment and distribution systems for e-commerce, retail, wholesale and manufacturers. Exotec is a manufacturer of autonomous Skypod robots integrated with high density rack to create a flexible goods-to-person system.
“We were very impressed with the depth and knowledge Conveyco bring to the table. Exotec is proud to join forces with Conveyco.”, says Gilles Baulard, EVP Sales, Exotec Solutions.
The Skypod three axis AMR is designed to vertically traverse rack to retrieve totes and then deliver the tote to a picking workstation. The amount of rack and storage positions can grow and change as needed. Likewise, the number of pick workstations can be adjusted as required. This allows organizations to meet peak demand while also being cost effective during slower periods. Unlike other technologies, the flexibility and scalability are not CAPEX prohibitive.
“This next generation goods-to-person AS/RS system combines the perfect blend of AS/RS and AMR technologies. The flexibility, modularity, scalability and cost effectiveness of this solution offers our clients a unique solution to their order fulfillment challenges and further differentiates Conveyco as a market leader, says Ray Cocozza, President, Conveyco Technologies.

KUKA to Showcase Cobots for Medical Applications at AAOS Meeting

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., Jan. 28, 2025 – Targeting the reduction of work-related injury for healthcare workers and shortening time-to-market for medical device OEMs, KUKA Robotics will bring two advanced medical innovations featuring cobot automation to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting in booth #540. The event takes place in San Diego, California, March 10-14, and attendees will see how KUKA’s LBR iisy cobot solution helps reduce the incidence of arm and shoulder injury to ultrasound technicians and sonographers. A second cobot demonstration will feature a KUKA Robot Development Kit using a LBR MED 14 R820 cobot that helps slash development time for unique medical device solutions.

Because of the repetitive nature of their work, sonographers and ultrasound technicians commonly experience musculoskeletal disorders such as tendonitis and rotator cuff injury from their work that requires them to apply pressure with abnormal arm and shoulder positioning. Using robot technology such as KUKA’s LBR iisy cobot, however, can take the strain off these technicians by precisely conducting these repetitive exams autonomously. Equipped with a Haply Inverse3 Hapatic Feedback Teleop Device and an OptoForce FT Sensor, the LBR iisy robotic arm can be controlled and manipulated to apply the proper amount of force to the imaging head for a proper reading.
