Automate-X Partners with XYZ Robotics: Revolutionizing Container Unloading in ANZ
Share on
Manual container unloading is one of the most physically demanding, injury-prone, and inefficient tasks in the supply chain. Today, Automate-X is proud to announce a strategic partnership with XYZ Robotics to change that reality for businesses across New Zealand and Australia.
As the leading Industrial System Integrator in the region, our mission has always been to bring the world’s most advanced automation technologies to local soil. By joining forces with XYZ Robotics, we are introducing a game-changer to our logistics sector: the RockyOne automated container unloading robot and advanced AI-driven piece-picking systems.
Why This Partnership Matters for ANZ
For warehouse managers in Auckland, Sydney, and Melbourne, the "container dock" is often a bottleneck. Labor shortages are acute, and finding staff willing to manually unload 40-foot shipping containers in the heat of summer is becoming impossible.
This partnership bridges the gap between global innovation and local execution. XYZ Robotics provides the cutting-edge vision systems and robotics, while Automate-X provides the on-the-ground expertise to integrate these systems into your existing WMS and physical workflows.
Meet RockyOne: The Future of Inbound Docks
The standout technology from this collaboration is the RockyOne Mobile Manipulation Robot. It is designed specifically to tackle the complexities of Warehouse Automation inside shipping containers.
Key Capabilities:
- Universal SKU Handling: Unlike older systems that require uniform boxes, RockyOne uses advanced 3D vision to identify and depalletize mixed SKUs, cartons, and sacks.
- High-Speed Throughput: It operates continuously without fatigue, significantly reducing the time required to turn around inbound freight.
- Safety First: By removing humans from inside the container, we eliminate the risk of musculoskeletal injuries associated with heavy lifting and repetitive strain.
Beyond Unloading: AI-Driven Piece Picking
Our partnership extends beyond the dock door. We are also deploying XYZ’s AI vision software for piece-picking applications. This technology enables robots to handle tens of thousands of different SKUs with "human-like" dexterity, essential for the booming e-commerce and fulfillment sectors in our region.
Integrator Insight: "Implementing robotics isn't just about the hardware; it's about the safety ecosystem. We ensure every XYZ installation meets strictly enforced ISO 10218-1 Robots and Robotic Devices safety standards, ensuring your compliance aligns with ANZ regulations."
The Automate-X Advantage
Buying a robot is easy; making it work seamlessly with your conveyors, ASRS, and ERP is where the challenge lies. As your local partner, Automate-X handles:
- Site Analysis: We assess your current dock layout and freight profile.
- Integration: We connect XYZ systems with your existing HMI & SCADA Systems for real-time visibility.
- Local Support: No waiting for overseas support tickets. Our NZ and AU-based engineers provide maintenance, training, and rapid response.
