Zasche Handling, a provider of load handling technology, has announced the launch of its new Smart Handling Big Bin Picking system.

According to its developers, the new solution enables operators to manage complex or variable tasks while automating repetitive movements via preset motion sequences, resulting in greater efficiency, reduced operator strain and improved productivity across assorted industrial applications.

The smart handling solution features:

• Human and machine harmony — Operators retain control over judgment-based or imprecise placement tasks, while automation takes over precise and repetitive movements.
• Fast, flexible setup — A modular design and teach-in functionality enable fast reconfiguration without the need for specialist programming.
• Lean footprint — A three-axis design enables safe operation without physical safety fences.
• Heavy-duty performance — It supports higher payloads and greater reach than conventional floor-based robots.
• Big bin picking — It can perform reliable handling of components positioned randomly within large transport containers

This hybrid approach to automation, the team suggests, is ideal for facilities managing variable workflows, smaller production runs or limited floor space.

By enabling one operator to oversee multiple stations or take on higher-value tasks while the system manages routine motion, smart handling helps manufacturers achieve productivity gains without the complexity or capital investment of full automation.

Zasche Handling will be showcasing its smart bin picking system at Automatica 2025 from June 24 to June 27 in Munich, Germany.
