Automatic bag cutting has been developed by our company more than 20
years ago, but nothing existed up today to automatically pick bags from
different pallet at the same time, cut and empty them fully automaticaly.
Imagine to feed and extruder, a mixer or a process with several
components in batch or cotinuosly in a controlled feed rate.... SmartPick
can do it. Imagine to have a centralised station (even outside the
factory) for cuttin, dosing and delivering the product to the process....
SmartPick is there!
Imagine that the presence of scrap of bag inside the product can be
critical: Smart Pick has the solution!
Many patents are at the base of the system, well proven in a number of
industrial environmente: plastic, food, chemical, cement, glass,
recycling etc...
CMSmartPick is based on a six axis robot equpped with a patented gripper
and cntrolled by an innovative neural software. It is able to pick a bag
from 10Kgg up to 1000Kg weight, cut the package and empty the content
inside a dedicated hopper
The system can be equipped with universal gruipper able to move:
In details the Smart Pick robotised system is composed by:
•One or more stations to feed pallets
•A six axis robot, that thanks to a special hardware, sensors and
softwares identifies the bags and pick the up one per time
•A patented gripper
•One or more station to cut bags

The sysetm is modular up to 40 pallets and 40 hoopers can be installed.
The different format of bags can be recognized by:
•Software SmartPick
•Self learning AI neural sw
