Plus One Robotics, a provider of artificial intelligence (AI) vision software and solutions for robotic parcel handling, has announced the launch of InductOne — a dual-arm automated parcel induction solution designed to optimize parcel singulation and induction in high-volume fulfillment and distribution centers.

A key feature of InductOne is its dual-arm design, which reportedly outperforms single-arm solutions. While a single-arm system typically tops out at around 1,600 picks per hour, the InductOne's two arms can achieve sustained pick rates of 2,200 to 2,300 per hour. The peak rate maxes out at 3,300 picks per hour, 10% faster than Plus One’s competitors.

"Parcel variability is a significant challenge of automation within the warehouse," said a spokesperson from Plus One Robotics. "That's why InductOne is equipped with our innovative individual cup control gripper, which can precisely handle a wide range of parcel sizes and shapes. But it's not just about what InductOne picks, it's also about what it doesn't pick. The system avoids picking non-conveyable items, allowing them to automatically convey to a designated exception path and preventing the robots from wasting precious cycles handling items which should not be inducted."
