Focus on Innovative Automation Solutions
Following a successful debut at automatica in Munich, EGS will now present its SUMO
Fotoplex at all about automation in Chemnitz.
SUMO Fotoplex: Compact Palletizing System with Maximum Flexibility
A special highlight at the EGS Automation booth is the SUMO Fotoplex – an innovative bin picking system with integrated palletizing that impresses with its compact design and high
flexibility. Designed for the automated handling of unsorted workpieces, the system combines a
powerful industrial robot with a fixed vision system. This combination enables precise detection,
picking, and placement of a wide variety of parts—directly from bulk material.
Thanks to workpiece-specific gripping technology, the SUMO Fotoplex ensures reliable and
gentle handling of various geometries. Operation is handled via the user-friendly EGS Smart
Pad, which allows for intuitive setup and control without any programming knowledge. All
relevant system data and recipes are available at a glance - for maximum transparency and
efficiency in operation.
With its versatility and ease of integration, the SUMO Fotoplex is ideal for companies looking to
flexibly automate their production processes—even with frequently changing workpieces.
