EXTRA - EXTRA!! PMMI - Pack Expo 2000 Special Revolutionary New Robot: The "Track-Bot" Being introduced by: American Productivity Group, LLC | |
|
Important Item #1: TRACK-BOT’S UNVEILING In our constant quest to stay ahead of our competitors and seek safer niche markets, we have become the exclusive North American distributor for a really, really wild new robot, The "Track-Bot". It is made in America by Distributed Robotics, LLC for us. American Productivity Group, LLC is having a training session on this incredible robot at our sister company’s booth (Heisler Industries, Inc.) #S-2425 Sunday morning, 11/5 at 8:30am. Also, we’ll be showing two new videos, announcing a new rental/lease program and our new state-of-the-art web site. Some details on the "Track-Bot": It is a high-speed, individually intelligent group of bots (with the optional ability to see its quarry) for material handling. They have the ability to create order out chaos, inspection/rejection out of randomness and singulation/orientation out of products scattered over infeed conveyor(s). Imagine flocks of sophisticated "bullet" looking eagles, flying over a stream (i.e. conveyor) on a continuos track and then individually |
deciding which prey (i.e. package, pouch, etc.) to swoop down upon, capture and return to their nests [i.e. carton, tray, package, and/or compartment conveyor(s)]. We are not sure of all the applications. The visitors to our booth will start giving us all the possibilities. We presented concept drawings to only one potential customer earlier this year and they said they could use up to one hundred (100) of them. Price $250 - $300,000 per "Track-Bot" installation. Not a bad commission for our included agent. Item #2: TWO NEW VIDEOS We will be using two new application videos at the PMMI show, which will also be chapters in the video section of our new web site. The products being handled are very difficult, oversized 50# Bags, with pallet and pallet sheet pick up and two different trayed products simultaneously running on two lines into the robotic cell with two different "Garbage/ Firewood" pallets and pallet sheet pick ups. We will also have videos on cased and cylinder products being palletized and a "lights-out" Scara robot factory. |
