Case Study| AI+3D Vision Breakthrough: Flexible Bag Depalletizing Achieves Millimeter Accuracy and Second-Level Response!

As industrial automation continues advancing toward intelligence, 3D vision technology has become a core driver to boost production line accuracy and efficiency. Transfer Technology has recently delivered another sophisticated flexible bag depalletizing project. Powered by the in-house developed Epic Eye Laser L laser 3D camera and intelligent vision system, the solution enables stable, efficient and high-precision operation under complex working conditions.

Project Solution

Developed for multiple specifications of bagged materials, the system leverages AI vision algorithms and coordinated robot control to achieve the following key performance indicators:

• Positioning Accuracy: ±2 mm

• Gripping Accuracy: Stably ±2 mm

• Single operation cycle: Only 3 seconds

This means the entire workflow from detection to gripping can be completed within 3 seconds, delivering true second-level response. It significantly shortens depalletizing cycle time and satisfies the dual requirements of high throughput and consistent reliability for modern production lines.

Technical Advantages

• High Adaptability

Compatible with roughly 10 types of flexible bags mainly made of polyethylene (PE), which feature reflective surfaces and high susceptibility to slipping.

• Strong Anti-interference Performance

The system maintains stable imaging amid variable lighting conditions and avoids recognition failures caused by reflections, shadows and other disturbances.

• Intelligent Motion Planning

The vision system automatically calculates the optimal gripping sequence and motion path and collaborates with the robotic arm to reduce empty grabs, missed picks and collision risks.

• Easy Integration

Supports seamless connection with mainstream robot brands and PLC systems, enabling rapid deployment and shortened commissioning cycles.

Customer Benefits

• Improved Efficiency: The vision cycle is controlled within 3 seconds, greatly enhancing overall depalletizing throughput compared with manual operation.

• Cost Reduction: Less manual intervention cuts labor intensity and human error risks, enabling 24-hour non-stop operation.

• Consistent Quality: Millimeter-level precision guarantees accurate gripping positions for every flexible bag, preventing bag damage and material spillage and lifting overall product yield.
