First live glimpse 👀

Solwr is currently testing Sonair’s 3D ultrasonic sensors on the Grab™ robot in a live warehouse setting.

Solwr is a frontrunner in the rapidly expanding robotics ecosystem in Norway. They help automate the retail and trade industries with their software (Trace™) and trailblazing warehouse robots (Grab™ and Sort™).

As part of Sonair’s Early Access Program, Solwr is right now putting our 3D ultrasonic sensors to the test on the Grab robot, in a live warehouse environment.

Grab supports warehouses and distribution centres with challenges of heavy lifting for pickers, cost management, and peak capacity management.

Together, Solwr and Sonair are exploring how to further improve the safety of humans and objects in environments where autonomous robots get their work done.

This the first glimpse of Sonair’s 3D ultrasonic sensor on a live robot. Check it out.
