See new developments from RARUK Automation at IMHX 2019

At its first appearance at IMHX (stand 19K75, NEC, 24-27 September 2019), RARUK Automation will showcase a new intelligent, small parts pick and storage system with huge time saving benefits. The new EffiMat system with patented Box Mover Technology, can pick five items at the same time from different positions within its vertical shelving systems and deliver them all to the picking station on the same tray. This is in sharp contrast to established competitor systems that require a single item to be picked before the code can be entered for the next. This makes the EffiMat the fastest and most accurate VLM currently available to the UK market.
