Our software provides best-in-class features and performance

CapSen PiC provides the best performance over multiple categories compared to other bin picking software. We looked at data from our competitors' products and ranked ability based on speed, variety of objects, vision & detection, possible applications, and motion planning capabilities to determine the best software for every category.

PiC performs consistently well across categories, while some bin picking software has limited speed, vision, or motion planning capabilities. Our system's motion planning algorithms ensure collision avoidance between the robot, the bin picking cell, as well as objects and end effectors. It can even perform advanced motion planning tasks such as detangling and assembly. Image processing and planning times of under a second make it the fastest software on the market, enabling PiC-powered cells to pick and place up to 30 parts per minute.

Vision Capabilities

In this comparison of bin picking systems, we put ourselves up against other vision systems that perform CAD matching, to focus on more comparable technologies.

While some bin picking systems only work with specific 3D camera brands, our system is completely hardware agnostic. Our software works with most major 3D cameras, giving you the flexibility to use the camera that's best for your application. You'll never sacrifice speed, either: our vision algorithms are the fastest in our class.
