In addition, the company will showcase its Model 100TT SmartCart Automatic Guided Cart (AGC), System Automation Manager (SAM), SmartPanel HMI display and mobile app. SmartCart AGC is a flexible and cost-effective Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) that is ideal for moving products on an assembly line or transporting goods throughout a plant or warehouse. Daifuku Webb will show how AGCs can add flexibility to an order picking operation during live booth demonstrations. SAM is a robust control system for AGVs and AGCs that manages the movement of all vehicles and provides comprehensive reports. SmartPanel is a touch-screen interface that can be used to communicate directly with a vehicle, guiding its locations and tasks. Finally, with the mobile app, users can control a vehicle's movement on their mobile device.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
