RightHand Robotics Unveils New Picking Solution for Logistics, E-Commerce, and Material Handling Industries
Friday, March 31, 2017
BOSTON--( )--With the explosive growth in e-commerce and a shrinking
workforce, pressures have never been higher on warehouses to fulfill
orders faster and more efficiently. To address these challenges,
RightHand Robotics today introduced RightPick, a combined hardware and
software solution that handles the key task of picking individual
items, or "piece-picking."
With RightPick, businesses are able to reduce the cost and improve the
reliability of e-commerce order-fulfillment for pharmaceuticals,
electronics, grocery, apparel, and countless other industries. As
e-commerce continues to grow, the trend is away from bulk or
pallet-load handling toward single SKUs and piecemeal items expands
along with it. RightPick works in concert with all industry-leading
robotic arms. The company will be demonstrating RightPick at ProMat
2017.
The core competency of the RightPick solution is picking "pieces,"
individual items. As e-commerce continues to grow, the trend away from
bulk or pallet-load handling toward single SKUs and piecemeal items
expands along with it.
"The supply chain of the future is more about pieces than pallets,"
according to RightHand Robotics Co-Founder Leif Jentoft. "RightHand
can help material handling, 3PLs, and e-commerce warehouses lower
costs by increasing automation."
Unlike traditional factory robots, RightPick handles thousands of
different items using a machine learning backend coupled with a
sensorized robot hand that works in concert with all industry-leading
robotic arms.
The time to value of RightPick can be demonstrated in a matter of
hours, as RightHand offers rapid setup, remote support, and easy
integration. RightPick is able to quickly demonstrate value in a wide
variety of workflows, such as sorting batch-picked items, picking
items from Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), inducting
items to a unit sorter, order quality assurance, and more.
The company will be exhibiting RightPick at ProMat 2017. To learn more

Funding
RightHand Robotics also announced today that it has raised $8 million
in Series A funding from Playground Global, Matrix Partners, Seven
Seas Partners, Dream Incubator and angel investors. The new capital
will be used to expand product development, hiring and marketing.
"RightHand Robotics has created a transformative technology combining
machine learning and smart hardware to address a tremendous
opportunity in the logistics industry," says investor Andy Rubin,
Founder and CEO at Playground Global. "For the first time, affordable
industrial robots can grasp things they have never seen before."
ProMat 2017
RightHand will have an extensive presence at ProMat, held this year at
Chicago's McCormick Place from April 3-6. RightHand will be
demonstrating its robotic piece-picking solution throughout the event.
Additionally, RightHand Robotics' Co-Founder Yaro Tenzer will present
an educational session: Robotic Piece-Picking: Is Your Warehouse
Ready? This presentation takes place on April 3 from 2:15 to 3:00 pm
in Theater H. A press conference is also scheduled for Tuesday, April
4, at 10:15 a.m. at the RightHand Robotics booth.
The picking solution from RightHand will also be on display in a
variety of workflows at the following booths at ProMat as well as
Automate, the automation and robotics event co-located with ProMat:
Piece Picking -- RightHand Robotics #S1891 (ProMat)
Sorter Induction -- Eurosort Booth #S2026 (ProMat)
Autobagging Induction -- Accutech Packaging Booth #S5018 (ProMat)
