Good afternoon. My name is Dave Callen. I'm at the CMES booth where we're showing the 3D, the AI 3D vision. Behind me you'll see an application of handling very heavy, very awkward bags. The customer, at the end of the day, brings in single product in the three of the stations. This sale will go up to six stations.

Each individual store has their order. This will pick the product off of the inbound, place it on the outbound, and each store will get their custom order.

CMES is the provider of the vision system, which includes the cameras, the software, and the PC platform. We can use multiple different robots. As you'll see above each one of these stations is a 3D AI vision camera.

On the back end of the other application that we have here in the booth is very popular with the co factors of the world. So, with the same vision process using a point cloud and edge find, you can put product in here with any orientation. Then the vision will find the product, get the center, pick it, and place it in the outgoing pallet.

Using the similar technology that we showed on the bag palletizing and depalletizing is products that do palletizing, de palletizing with boxes. And you notice around the show, many of the vendors will show automatic or robotic palletizing. That has been around for a long time. With the 3D vision adds to it, is using the exact same hardware, putting the camera above it, and working with the point cloud and edge find, we can take product and depalletize.

Taking it off the pallets, bringing them into the conveyor. All of this can be done with single skew, multi pick. What's really popular though is the multi skew. We can have an endless amount of boxes, different boxes, on a pallet. Our software will find those products, pick it, and place it onto the conveyor.
