Tompkins Robotics partners with RightHand Robotics to develop portable material handling systems
The collaboration will combine t-Sort and RightPick.
Tompkins Robotics, a Raleigh, N.C.-based division of Tompkins International, and RightHand Robotics, Somerville, Mass., announced a collaboration that will combine t-Sort, what is dubbed to be the world’s first portable, automated sortation system, with RightPick, a robotic piece-picking system, to provide flexibility and throughput for e-commerce and omni-channel fulfillment.
“The response from customers visiting our recently re-launched Emerging Technology Center to see these two systems working together has been extremely positive,” says Mike Futch, president of Tompkins Robotics. “Integrating RightHand’s best-in-class, piece-picking technology with Tompkins Robotics’ t-Sort provides a solution that can flexibly scale from a small operation in the backroom of a supercenter or mall anchor store to dedicated fulfillment center application, processing millions of units a day.”
