Kardex launches AI-driven BinInductAI to speed up AutoStore bin induction and improve accuracy

Kardex has released BinInductAI, which uses AI and computer vision to replace manual pre-checks and barcode scanning in the AutoStore bin induction process, cutting on-site induction time by up to 30%. Operators only need to place the bin at the induction port; the system automatically checks that the bin is present, its walls, the robot gripper holes, and barcode readability, and after barcode verification confirms with the ASRS that the bin is not registered as a duplicate before issuing the insert command. The system can automatically identify damaged or non-standard bins, reducing the risk of downstream interruptions.
