Logisteed, Ltd. (Hitachi) Japan

Challenge

LOGISTEED wanted to automate the secondary sorting of pharmaceutical products after batch picking while maintaining strict accuracy and quality requirements. The solution needed to maximize container utilization, prevent product damage, and verify every item through barcode inspection during transport.

Solution

Using MujinOS, LOGISTEED deployed an intelligent pharmaceutical piece-picking system equipped with advanced 3D vision, barcode scanning, and force-sensing technology. The robot accurately identifies and picks medicine products regardless of orientation, automatically scans barcodes during handling, and optimizes container loading in real time to maximize storage efficiency while protecting product integrity. The system also integrates seamlessly with existing warehouse automation equipment, including Okamura's rotary sorter.

Results

• Automated pharmaceutical sorting and piece-picking operations

• Improved shipping accuracy through automated barcode verification

• Reduced manual labor requirements

• Optimized container loading and space utilization

• Prevented product damage through intelligent handling and force sensing

• Increased fulfillment efficiency and operational consistency

• Seamless integration with existing warehouse automation systems
