Description
The Rubic is developing a world-class advanced and smart robotic platform for goods-to-person deliveries for warehouses and eCommerce Fulfillment. The COVID-19 worldwide pandemic has had an enormous impact on the worldwide supply chain from both supply and demand perspectives. Canada is not an exception where the demand for products is high, while supply is an issue. The Supply Chain industry needs technologies to address and increase the supply-demand in a safe method without being exposed to COVID-19 risks. The Rubic is developing a new piece of machinery that uses Innovative Mechatronics systems combined with AI-based motion planning and gripping solutions. The Rubic solution addresses the COVID-19 concern for distribution centers.
Description (French)
The Rubic met au point une plateforme robotique avancée et intelligente de classe mondiale pour la livraison de marchandises aux personnes dans les entrepôts et le traitement du commerce électronique. La pandémie mondiale de la COVID-19 a causé un impact énorme sur la chaîne d'approvisionnement mondiale, tant du point de vue de l'offre que de la demande. Le Canada ne fait pas exception à la règle, car la demande de produits est élevée, alors que l'offre pose problème. L'industrie de la chaîne d'approvisionnement a besoin de technologies permettant de répondre et d'augmenter l'offre et la demande de manière sûre, sans être exposée aux risques liés à la COVID-19. The Rubic conçoit actuellement une nouvelle machine qui utilise des systèmes mécatroniques innovants combinés à des solutions de planification de mouvement et de saisie basées sur l'IA. La solution Rubic répond au problème de la COVID-19 pour les centres de distribution.
