The system accurately tracks the flowing bag product through vision recognition and determines the optimal picking position in real time, achievaing a high speed of 80 bags per minute and immediate response to different box sizes, reducing labor equivalent to three workers and achieving high productivity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/tachyon\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Kvf5-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9093\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kawasakirobotics.com\/asia-oceania\/case-studies\/vision-guided-box-packing-using-inverted-robots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Case Study<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is 2D Vision? 2D vision is used to accurately recognize parts and products on a flat surface and to correct their position and orientation.
