Schmalz AI innovation receives best award

"It has always been our aim to develop technologies that set new standards," says Dr. Kurt Schmalz, Managing Partner of Schmalz. "Awards such as the best award show that we are well positioned in the future topic of robotics."

The award-winning robotics solution comprises a system consisting of a camera, gripper and software. Equipped with learning artificial intelligence, the system is capable of automatically recognizing, gripping and sorting sheet metal parts of various shapes. "The shortage of skilled workers is one of the most pressing problems of our time," says Dr. Kurt Schmalz. "Now another monotonous job can be taken over by a robot thanks to our solution. The increasingly scarce workforce can therefore focus on other activities."
