Shoebox Picker’s Capabilities

Built for the Most Complex SKUs

Nomagic’s Shoebox Picker is the first Physical AI to overcome the biggest challenges around automating shoebox gripping, thanks to innovative hardware and layered AI intelligence.

Mechanical Gripper

Our latest advancement in warehouse robotics is capable of handling hinged and unsealed lids, size variations, and multiple orientations. Traditional grippers like vacuum clamps and finger grippers simply cannot deal with unsealed shoeboxes. Further, without an intelligence layer, they lack autonomous decision-making to manage unexpected situations.

AI Perception Software

Our advanced AI identifies each shoebox’s specific type, position, and orientation, determining the optimal angle and grip points, eliminating the need for items to be pre-oriented. This AI intelligence layer ensures our Shoebox Picker can navigate high-volume, mixed-SKU environments.

24/7 Support Magic

Our 24/7 support and monitoring service leverages advanced AI and skilled experts ensure your robots are always at work.

Every Nomagic solution includes an AI monitoring system that ensures that we can detect even the smallest disruptions in real-time and solve them immediately, without human intervention.

Remote experts have eyes on your robots 24/7 for proactive care and solutions. We respond to requests within 15 minutes, and if anything is wrong with the robot, a member of our team will be on the ground within 24 hours.

By maximizing up time, we add up to 104 additional days of productivity to your warehouse.

FAQs

Can Nomagic robots pick shoeboxes with loose lids?

Yes. With Nomagic’s Shoebox Picker, robots can pick up different types of shoeboxes with different types of lids to ensure you get the solution you need for your warehouse.

Why couldn't robots pick shoeboxes before?

Standard robotic grippers cannot pick up shoeboxes due to unsealed lids, the high variation of types of shoeboxes, and the different ways shoeboxes might be oriented.

Nomagic’s shoebox gripper mechanism is a novel advancement in gripper technology. Paired with our AI perception system, it identifies a shoebox’s type and orientation to autonomously determine the optimal way to pick it up. Together, they act as a complete solution to overcome traditional shoebox picking challenges.

What percentage of shoeboxes can the Nomagic Shoebox Picker handle?

Shoebox Picker is designed to handle 98% of all shoebox SKUs, including two-piece shoeboxes, hinged-lid boxes, and boxes stored in varying orientations.

Does the Shoebox Picker work alongside existing warehouse automation systems?

Yes. The Shoebox Picker integrates directly into existing picking, sorting, and packing workflows. It is designed to be the missing link in fully automated fashion merchandise fulfillment.
