    When robots start handling e-commerce returns: what makes grasping irregular items difficult?

    German retail group Otto will deploy AI dual-arm robots in phases at a logistics center in Poland to inspect, identify, and sort e-commerce returns. The first phase plans to deploy 10 systems, and whether 15 more will be added later depends on initial operating results. Returned goods are often crumpled, repackaged, or presented in various orientations, so the robots need to combine visual information to decide how to grasp and adjust their actions based on feedback; simulation can model different orientations and packaging to assist training. Currently, the project still lacks enough public data to judge actual efficiency and return on investment.

    REEMAN Ironhide autonomous forklift completes wrapper and elevator integration at Shanghai chemical shipping warehouse

    REEMAN has published a deployment case at a chemical shipping company in Shanghai, where the Ironhide autonomous forklift links pallet pickup, automatic stretch wrapping, elevator floor transfer, and indoor and outdoor delivery, covering about 600 kg per trip, about 650 meters round trip, about 12 minutes per cycle, and about 50 cycles per day. The forklift exchanges station-ready and wrapping-complete status with the wrapper through an industrial interface, and coordinates requests, entry, and exit with the building elevator control system. During commissioning, the team adjusted drive-wheel downforce to resolve ramp slipping, and worked with the wrapper manufacturer to correct the pallet handover process.
