Bin picking for long goods: Remmert presents AI-supported robotic solution at Logimat 2026

The system, developed jointly with the Fraunhofer IOSB-INA Institute, enables the robot-assisted manipulation of bars, pipes and profiles made of metal or plastic with a unit weight of up to 300 kilograms. The solution particularly addresses applications in which long goods previously had to be picked manually. Thanks to the combination of industrial robotics, 3D vision and AI-based object recognition, disordered materials can be automatically removed and manipulated directly from load carriers. The system can be fully integrated into Remmert's long goods warehouses and is suitable for material provision at saws, finishing processes or for picking customer orders, among other things.

A central feature is the AI-supported image recognition. It reliably detects the position of packed and unpacked long goods in load carriers as well as the ideal storage position. Vacuum, magnetic or mechanical gripping tools are available for removal. Automatic tool changing is also possible.

"With this concept, we are consistently transferring bin picking to long components - an area that was previously hardly automated and required a high level of personnel deployment," says Hugo Allemann, Commercial Director at Remmert GmbH. "By using AI and 3D vision, we achieve a level of flexibility that enables automation even for long goods with many variants and disordered goods."
