Among the companies highlighted in the report "How Vision and AI are Changing Picking Operations", Fizyr garnered extensive coverage following a wide-ranging interview with CEO Ken Fleming.
A few highlights:
“We’re focused on getting out of the lab and away from the AI and humanoid hype,” asserted Fleming. “A camera captures an image, and our agents interpret it, helping our AI get stronger and stronger. Picture a 25 kg bag of grain, powders, or paint pigments, as well as containers made of paper or hemp and polybags.”
Fizyr’s neural network can tell a robot how to pick up each of these items and how quickly, he explained. Not only can AI accelerate the picking process for varied objects, but it can also help identify damage or defects.
“The hard part isn’t how smart or fast the AI robots are; it’s how to deploy them into brownfield sites and make sure they can work alongside human workers,” Fleming said.
And:
Fleming pointed out that ABB, SoftBank, and Amazon are among the companies that have recently invested in or acquired vision providers, recognizing the need for vision AI and software in their tech stacks.
“If we accept that robots coming out of China would bring down the cost of capital to deploy automation, then robotics companies will have to find a competitive edge,” he said.
The Fizyr content covers four full pages (10-13) of the report and covers many real-world deployments and use cases Fizyr has solved with its advanced vision AI. Download the full report to read about the “diverse and demanding” use cases Fizyr is tackling.
