PRESS RELEASE: EnSight Solutions & Soft Robotics Demonstrate High-Speed Poultry Automation Solution at IPPE 2024

STRAFFORD, MO – EnSight Solutions will be demonstrating its new Smart Styler automated picking solution–which includes Soft Robotics’ high-speed, AI-enabled automation solution­–using real, raw chicken at IPPE 2024 from January 30–­­­­­February 1 in Atlanta, GA.

The Smart Styler solution uses the mGripAI™ 3D vision system, artificial intelligence and soft gripper from Soft Robotics to identify food coming down a conveyor in a chaotic flow. The camera can pick out individual items, e.g., a chicken leg in a pile of chicken parts, and direct the robot to pick up that particular product and realign it on a separate conveyor for further processing. The solution is ideal for processes where ingredients are in a chaotic fashion and need to be restyled before going into a slicer, tenderizer or other further processing machine.

In addition to mGripAI, the automated picker features a Stäubli TS260 six-axis hygienic robot and Soft Robotics end-of-arm tooling. The solution is designed for primary food handling and is therefore IP69K rated and can handle caustic wash-down procedures. The robot can make up to 60 picks per minute.
