BIN PICKING SOLUTIONS
Robotic Bin Picking Solutions for Real-World Production
Viroteq delivers AI robotic bin picking software that turns messy bins of mixed, tangled, or oriented parts into a reliable feed for your robot cell. 3D vision scans the bin in real time, StackrBrain plans a collision-free grasp in under 200 milliseconds, and the robot picks brand-agnostically across FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots, Yaskawa, and Stäubli. As a result, robotic bin picking deploys without re-teaching every SKU and adapts the moment what is in the bin changes.

How Robotic Bin Picking Adapts to Any Bin Configuration
Robotic bin picking is one of the hardest problems in factory automation because no two bins are ever quite the same. Parts arrive tangled, stacked, partially occluded, or oriented in fixtures, and the robot has to commit to a grasp in real time without dropping the cycle. Viroteq’s AI vision stack handles every presentation — random or structured — from a single runtime, so the cell behaves the same whether the bin is bulk-loaded or carefully laid out by an upstream feeder.
The system scans the bin with structured-light or stereo 3D cameras, generates a live point cloud, and feeds it to StackrBrain. The AI engine reasons about each candidate part — collision risk, gripper accessibility, neighbouring geometry, bin walls, expected slip — and ranks pick poses in under 200 milliseconds. Robotic bin picking outcomes therefore stay reliable across mixed SKUs, bin reflectivity changes, and lighting drift, with no per-part teaching required when a new variant arrives.
Furthermore, brand-agnostic robot control lets you pair the vision intelligence with whatever arm and gripper your line already uses, which keeps integration timelines short and avoids forklift upgrades to your factory’s automation stack. Robotic bin picking from Viroteq integrates over REST API and WebSocket, so the cell coexists with installed PLCs, MES, and safety relays. As a result, the engineering team keeps full ownership of the production line while AI handles the perception and grasp planning that legacy rule-based vision systems cannot.
Random Bin Picking
Tangled, mixed parts handled by AI grasp planning. Robotic bin picking on bulk-loaded bins where parts arrive overlapping, partially occluded, and without orientation — every cycle reasoning about geometry rather than pre-taught poses, so new SKUs drop in without re-programming the cell.
Structured Bin Picking
Oriented parts with positional precision. Robotic bin picking from trays, fixtures, or carriers where each part presents in a known pose — cycle time and repeatability are dialled in for downstream assembly, kitting, or machine-tending lines that demand sub-millimetre placement consistency every cycle.
Viroteq Products That Power Robotic Bin Picking
Three purpose-built products cover robotic bin picking end-to-end — from 3D vision capture and AI grasp planning to multi-object identification and downstream sorting. All three share the StackrBrain AI engine, run on the same Industrial PC hardware, and integrate with major robot controllers and MES platforms via REST API without bespoke development.
RobotStackr Vision
RobotStackr Vision delivers the 3D scanning layer for robotic bin picking. Structured-light and stereo cameras generate a live point cloud of the bin contents, with reflectivity compensation and depth filtering tuned for industrial parts — metal, plastic, painted, or coated.
VisionAI Sorting
VisionAI Sorting classifies parts in mixed bins by SKU, colour, dimension, or barcode. Robotic bin picking cells use it to route picked items to the correct downstream lane — kitting, packaging, or quality inspection — without operators sorting by hand at the end of the cell.
StackrBrain
StackrBrain is the AI engine behind robotic bin picking. It consumes the live point cloud, ranks candidate grasps for collision risk and gripper accessibility, and emits a pick pose to the robot in under 200 ms — trained on millions of simulated bin scenarios across part geometries.
Why AI-Powered Robotic Bin Picking
3D Grasp Planning
AI grasp planning consumes a live point cloud and ranks candidate pick poses for collision risk, gripper accessibility, and bin-wall clearance. Robotic bin picking decisions land in under 200 ms, so the robot never waits on the planner across mixed-SKU runs.
Multi-Object Recognition
Mixed bins are decomposed into individual parts by SKU, colour, dimension, or barcode in the same pass. Robotic bin picking pipelines therefore feed downstream sorting, kitting, or assembly with the right item at the right station, with no manual triage at the cell exit.
Adaptive End-Effectors
Vacuum cup, parallel jaw, magnetic, or multi-finger grippers are all supported, and tool-change is supported per cycle for mixed-part bins. As a result, robotic bin picking cells handle stamped sheet metal, fasteners, plastic mouldings, and irregular castings without redesigning the end-of-arm tooling.
Manufacturing
Bin picking feeds machine-tending, assembly, and kitting cells with parts from supplier bins, with full traceability per pick for quality systems.
Logistics & 3PL
Returns processing, mixed-tote sorting, and pick-to-tote workflows run faster when bin picking handles tangled mixed inventory without operator triage.
E-commerce
High-mix unit picking from supplier totes for parcel fulfilment, where SKU variety is unbounded and orientation is never controlled upstream.
