The PickPal robotic technology follows Tompkins Robotics core design elements of producing adaptive, flexible, and scalable solutions. The system can be quickly implemented, features low operating costs and is compatible with a range of existing fulfillment operations in a scalable RaaS model. PickPals ability to handle the rising number of SKUs and faster delivery demands make it an ideal low-risk choice to help 3PL, e-commerce and other fulfillment customers handle the growing problems that traditional, large-scale systems cannot easily address. To date, the company has introduced two models in its PickPal Solutions series that can pick and carry up to 220 lbs/100 kg and 440 lbs/200 kg of orders, respectively, and plans to announce additional models in the near future.
