Oxipital AI and Schmalz extend partnership for automated picking - The Robot Report
Oxipital AI and J. Schmalz GmbH have extended their partnership to integrate Oxipital AI’s advanced machine vision technology with Schmalz’s mGrip robotic fingers and vacuum end-of-arm tooling (EOAT). This collaboration aims to deliver next-generation robotic grasping solutions that improve operational efficiency, reduce labor dependence, and ensure consistent, safe, and profitable production, particularly in the food and beverage industry. Oxipital AI, originally founded as Soft Robotics, has shifted its focus from soft robotic grippers to AI-enabled machine vision systems, exemplified by its recent release of the VX2 Vision System designed for food-grade inspection and picking. Schmalz, a global leader in vacuum industrial automation and ergonomic material handling since 1910, benefits from this partnership by expanding the applicability of its tooling solutions to more complex manufacturing processes. The integration of Oxipital AI’s vision technology enhances Schmalz’s robotic grasping capabilities, enabling more capable and higher-performing picking solutions. Both companies emphasize their shared focus on robotic automation and digitalization, with Schmalz leveraging acquisitions and new technologies to strengthen its offerings in packaging, food, and pharmaceutical industries. The partnership was highlighted at the recent Automate event, signaling ongoing collaboration and innovation in automated picking systems.
