Semi-Automated Large-Bin Picking

Zasche Handling, a provider of load-handling technology, has introduced the Smart Handling Big Bin Picking system for reliable handling of components positioned randomly within large transport containers. It is designed to bridge the gap between manual and fully automated operations, and with flexibility and user control in mind. The new solution, engineered for ease of deployment and rapid adaptation, combines intelligent camera guidance with intuitive manual control—offering a practical, efficient path to semi-automation, according to company officials.

The Smart Handling system allows operators to manage complex or variable tasks while automating repetitive movements through preset motion sequences. The reported result: greater efficiency, reduced operator strain and improved productivity across diverse industrial applications.

This hybrid approach to automation is ideal for facilities managing variable workflows, smaller production runs or limited floor space. By enabling one operator to oversee multiple stations or take on higher-value tasks while the system manages routine motion, Smart Handling helps manufacturers achieve productivity gains without the complexity or capital investment of full automation.

The system will be on display at Automatica 2025, June 24–27 in Munich, Germany, at the Zasche Handling booth, A6.530.
