The quickly evolving world of food and beverage logistics presents unique challenges for warehouse automation. Despite advances in automation, one significant hurdle remains: reliably picking and handling a wide range of items, from heavy boxes to fragile, transparent bottles, all while ensuring minimal disruption to operations. Warehouses need a solution that can seamlessly integrate into existing systems, handle diverse packaging and items, and maintain the high-speed performance required in modern warehouses.
Grab™ combines cutting-edge robotics and Zivid’s high-resolution 3D vision system to create a seamless end-to-end automation process. The Zivid 2+ 3D camera provides precise point clouds, enabling Grab™ to detect and handle challenging items, such as transparent or disorganized products. This data feeds into Grab’s motion planning system, ensuring accurate picking and placement of diverse objects weighing up to 30kg.
The deployment of Grab™ in warehouses has demonstrated its ability to handle a wide variety of items efficiently and accurately. With a picking rate of 100 items per hour and an error rate of less than 1%, the system ensures smooth operations, reducing the need for human intervention. This solution has increased productivity and improved safety by minimizing manual lifting tasks.
Zivid's ability to generate high-resolution point clouds of transparent items is invaluable as we previously required additional sensors to handle such objects.”
Rasmus Nes Tjørstad, Product Owner of Grab™ at Solwr
To meet the challenges of automating the picking process in dynamic warehouse environments, Solwr chose to integrate Zivid’s advanced 3D vision system. The Zivid 2+ L110 3D camera provides true-to-life point clouds with exceptional resolution and accuracy, allowing Grab™ to detect and localize a wide range of items with high precision. One of the standout features of the Zivid camera is its ability to capture transparent and reflective objects, a crucial capability given the variety of packaging materials present in food and beverage warehouses.

The Zivid 2+ L110 3D camera captures a wide range of items on Grab™
The unique 2D + 3D data offered by Zivid streamlines the vision processing, giving Grab™ the ability to not only detect the items but also accurately determine their pickability and proper placement on the load carrier. This precision allows Grab™ to handle objects even in disorganized and confined spaces, with minimal risk of errors.
For handling diverse items, Solwr paired Zivid’s vision system with a custom-designed gripper capable of picking up objects weighing up to 30kg, ranging from sturdy boxes to soft, fragile packages. This gripper, combined with Zivid’s high-resolution point clouds, enables Grab™ to execute accurate picks even in cluttered storage conditions without the need for pre-programmed CAD models.
Seamless integration with WMS ensures that Grab™ operates efficiently, receiving real-time pick orders and updating the system with progress, all while using Zivid’s vision capabilities to provide the required accuracy and performance. With this solution, Solwr was able to create a highly reliable, scalable mobile picking robot that excels in diverse warehouse environments.
The Grab™ mobile picking system is now one of the most advanced solutions in warehouse automation, offering unmatched flexibility and precision in handling diverse items. Thanks to the integration of Zivid’s 3D vision system, Grab™ has achieved exceptional situational awareness, allowing it to accurately identify, pick, and place items ranging from rigid boxes to fragile, transparent containers. The high-resolution point clouds generated by the Zivid camera ensure precise detection and localization, even in disorganized environments.
This cutting-edge vision technology, combined with Grab’s versatile gripper and seamless WMS integration, has revolutionized the pick-and-place process in warehouses. The ability to efficiently handle items up to 30kg in confined spaces while minimizing errors has led to significant improvements in productivity and cost efficiency.
As a result, Grab™ not only improves operational performance, but also enhances worker health and safety by reducing manual lifting. This advanced system, with its innovative capabilities, positions Grab™ as a leading solution in the future of warehouse automation, capable of scaling to meet the demands of global logistics operations.
