“We manage the unloading of plastic containers from the hospital sector. We are dealing with potentially hazardous material that, until recently, was handled manually by operators.”

• Unloading of individual plastic containers inside containers
• Confined and unstructured environment (inside the container)
• Need to increase unloading speed
• Elimination of operator exposure to hazardous materials

“The manual process was slow and, above all, risky. Operators had to physically enter the container and handle the containers one by one.”

• Constructa patented system with anthropomorphic robot mounted on a tracked AGV
• Autonomous navigation of the system inside the container
• Artificial vision system for container identification and picking
• Custom gripper designed for safe handling of plastic containers
• Automatic placement onto a conveyor belt for the downstream process

“The combination of autonomous mobility and artificial vision was essential for operating in an unstructured environment such as a container.”

• Significant increase in unloading speed
• Complete elimination of manual handling
• Substantial improvement in operator safety
• Continuous, automated and traceable process

“Today, no operator enters the container anymore. We have improved both safety and operational efficiency in a tangible way.”
