3D ToF Smart Camera Success Cases
Accurate Robot Pick-and-Place -
Goods Measurement and Positioning




"Goods To Person (GTP)"  is the core of automated warehouse logistics. Hence, robotic arms are implemented to conduct sorting, order picking, and transportation to enhance efficiency. Enabling robots to carry out accurate recognition and positioning is the key to high throughput.

Introduction

Accurate Measurement and Positioning Ensure Sorting and Picking Efficiency

Two-dimensional imaging is adequate for object structure/color recognition and defect inspection. To warehouses and logistics businesses, sorting and picking requires more spatial data, including height, depth, volume, shape, position, and direction, for recognition and presence check to reduce errors and ensure throughput. 

 

Object Measurement and 3D Coordinates Eliminate Errors

For goods and parcels with different size and shapes, automated warehouses require a recognition system to enhance sorting and picking. Installed above the sorting space, the 3D ToF Smart Camera DMV-T with Machine Vision Software DIAVision conducts 3D imaging and transforms visual data into coordinates for robotic arms to accomplish accurate pick-and-place.

DIAVision also supports customized applications. Users can develop (de)palletizing processes based on specific products, spatial arrangements, and robotic arms. With the coordinates generated by the DMV-T, DIAVision integrates machine vision and robotic arms and enhances human-robot collaboration.

ToF Provides Ambient Light Immunity and Precise 3D Imaging 

Adopts Time of Flight (ToF) technology to calculate distance and depth by measuring the time taken by infrared to travel between the camera and the target. ToF enables the DMV-T to conduct precise, high resolution 3D imaging in environments with very low or high contrast lighting.
 

 

 
Continuous Imaging and Real-Time Positioning Correction

The DMV-T transforms visual data into coordinates with its 60 fps frame rate and Arm dual-cortex processor. DIAVision reads the coordinates for accurate pick-and-place. The isolated I/O channels ensure stable transmission without interference for detection and movement triggers.

 

 
Integrates Robotic Arms and Machine Vision to Enhance Collaboration

Delta’s integrated machine vision solution enables measurement, imaging, real-time calculation and customized development. The DMV-T can process images and generate coordinates in real time for robotic arms to enhance automated sorting and picking.
