Kuka Systems Corp. North America has released a new robotic sorter. The robot can receive a random flow of cartons in picking waves and then sequence the flow to palletizing stations. It's designed to stack cartons and build mixed-case pallet loads.

Kuka also offers Mobile Bots, which are manufactured by its partner Grenzebach. The bots can transport up to 2,500-pound pallet loads. They can hold and transport multiple platforms such as mobile racks, pallet conveyors, or case conveyors.
