Vanderlande and AWL join forces to develop robotic small-item picker

+Vanderlande launched a new robot picking solution – Auto Induct – at the Parcel+Post Expo 2022 on 18 October in Frankfurt, Germany. Developed in collaboration with machine builder and robotics expert, AWL, Auto Induct allows for the robotic picking of small items from a bulk flow of parcels.

“We’re delighted to be collaborating with AWL on this innovative new solution,” says Mike Christman, Vanderlande’s Executive Vice-President Parcel Solutions. “As well as complementing each other in terms of expertise and technical know-how, we share an open and honest working culture. This is helping us to deal with the challenges and complexities of this exciting project.”

“Auto Induct delivers both companies’ first robot solution designed specifically for the parcel sector,” adds Arjen Vos, Director Strategy & Development from AWL. “Results from development and testing have been positive, and all our hard work is paving the way for a commercial launch in the second half of 2023.”
