Cognex and Soft Robotics teamed up to help a German apparel retailer improve efficiency in their re-inventory process. Entering returned apparel and accessories to inventory was an inefficient and costly process, especially with poly bags, which can be hard to scan efficiently. The solution, which included roboticpiece-picking technology from Soft Robotics and DataMan 470 fixed-mount image-based barcode readers from Cognex, delivered a 99.5% accuracy rate as well as increased throughput.
