Businesses looking to deploy advanced robotic solutions in their e-commerce and fulfillment operations can take advantage of OSARO’s AI-powered robotics software combined with Mission’s decades of experience in factory floor and warehouse automation
OSARO, a global leader in machine-learning-enabled robotics for e-commerce, is partnering with Mission Design & Automation, a Michigan-based industrial robotic systems integrator, to develop and deploy a range of robotic automation solutions optimized for e-commerce fulfillment. Founded in 2004, Mission designs, builds, and integrates custom intelligent automation solutions for a variety of industries, including food and beverage, medical device, transportation and automotive, consumer goods, and more.
“We’re especially excited to announce that Mission Design and Automation is joining the OSARO Partners Alliance because we already have two robotics projects underway. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with the entire Mission team.”
The move blends OSARO’s AI-powered SightWorks™ vision software and control technologies for robotics with Mission’s expertise in designing and deploying specialized robotics solutions across a broad array of applications in warehouses and fulfillment centers, such as depalletizing, kitting, and bagging.
E-commerce businesses and third-party logistics service providers can now automate even the most challenging tasks that couple robot flexibility with the ability to learn how to identify, pick, and place any object. In particular, the two companies are targeting kitting applications, which combine multiple products, or SKUs, into one larger order that is packaged in a single box with a new SKU and shipped to a customer.
