Interview: Bin picking for intralogistics

Intralogistics faces many challenges. Growing product diversity, increasing order volumes and expectations for fast delivery times are putting companies under increasing pressure to optimize their processes. An important intralogistics application here is bin picking, which is becoming increasingly automated due to growing market requirements. We spoke to Arquemino Lopes Junior, Industry Segment Manager Intralogistics at Festo, about the importance of bin picking and how this technology improves efficiency and flexibility in intralogistics.
