en.Wedoany.com Reported - US automation system integrator AMT (Applied Manufacturing Technologies) and industrial robot supplier FANUC America (the North American subsidiary of Japan's FANUC) jointly announced on June 10, 2026, that they will showcase a collaborative mixed-load handling system at the Automate 2026 exhibition.

The system is centered on the FANUC CRX-10iA collaborative robot, integrating 3D vision guidance and AI planning software developed by AMT. It can autonomously identify boxes of varying sizes and weights arriving randomly on a conveyor belt and perform "mixed palletizing." The system also features a "depalletizing" function, enabling it to pick individual boxes from a full pallet as required by outbound orders. The FANUC CRX-10iA is a lightweight collaborative robot with a payload of 10 kg and a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm, characterized by ease of programming and safe collaboration.

This mixed-load handling solution aims to address pain points in logistics and manufacturing centers, such as low automation levels and reliance on manual labor during inbound and outbound processes. Compared to traditional dedicated machines, the collaborative robot-based system offers greater flexibility, adapting to the diverse SKU types and variable packaging formats common in e-commerce and retail logistics. AMT and FANUC stated that they hope this demonstration will showcase a cost-effective path to flexible logistics automation upgrades for customers.
