BOA Concept strengthens its robotics offering

BOA Concept, the manufacturer, designer, and integrator of intralogistics solutions, will unveil a brand new robot at the International Transport and Logistics Exhibition (SITL). This latest addition from BOA Concept is specifically designed for applying lids to shuttle containers. It integrates artificial intelligence and the embedded vision system developed by its subsidiary Roboptic.

BOA Concept is continuing its mission: to democratize robotics in the warehouse. After picking and palletizing, the intralogistics solutions specialist is now optimizing packaging. At SITL, which will be held from April 1st to 3rd at Paris Porte de Versailles, BOA Concept will present several robotic solutions aimed at optimizing picking, packing, and palletizing. Among them, its latest innovation: a robot that handles the application of lids to shuttle containers for store replenishment in a B2B flow approach.

Equipped with a high-precision articulated arm, this robot integrates artificial intelligence and the embedded vision system from Roboptic, a subsidiary of BOA Concept. Thanks to these advanced technologies, it visualizes and analyzes the arrival of containers on the processing line in real time, allowing it to apply plastic lids with extreme precision. The benefits are numerous: increased productivity, simplified maintenance compared to mechanical solutions on the market, and, above all, the elimination of this repetitive, low-value-added task, a source of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The solution is scalable and adapts, among other things, to changes in container format.

This intelligent robot has already proven its worth. It has been operational since last January in the warehouse of a logistics provider using plastic containers for restocking a chain of stores. Offered at an affordable price, between €150,000 and €200,000, it offers a return on investment in less than 18 months.

"This robot is part of our ongoing innovation approach, true to our vision. By combining artificial intelligence, vision, robotics, and workflow, we are redefining performance standards in the warehouse," emphasizes Patrice Henrion, Managing Director of BOA Concept.
