If your robot is moving slowly or stopping frequently, the problem lies in the plan, not the hardware. Many vision systems only calculate the pick point, leaving the robot to manage the dangerous, complex exit path on its own.
This gap leads to two major financial drains, namely:
- Costly Collisions: Due to uncertainty about the full environment, the robot risks hitting the bin walls, damaging tooling, or scratching parts. This leads to immediate system halts and expensive maintenance.
- The "Caution Tax" on Speed: To prevent failure, the system is forced to move excessively slowly. This overly conservative pace kills your throughput, eroding the very ROI you sought through automation.
If your robot is moving like it’s unsure, you are losing money on every cycle.
