The mobile collaborative picking robot from US start-up \u201e6 River Systems\u201c is now also available in Europe. Interested parties can put it through its paces at LogiMAT 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Logistics cobot<\/strong> is, according to the manufacturer, the only system in the world that guides pickers through their tasks. \u201eWith our <strong>collaborative robot<\/strong> we offer companies a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional warehouse automation, which often costs several million euros,\u201c says Fergal Glynn, Vice President of Marketing at 6 River Systems, citing one of the product benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck's task is to guide employees through their orders within the picking zones. Artificial intelligence identifies ideal picking routes and prioritises the orders. This reduces the number of steps between the picks on the shelf. Chuck is the largest, configurable <strong>Picking robots<\/strong> on the market. It supports a payload of 73 kilograms.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-3164627998\"><div id=\"packa-3913946944\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20507\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20507\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20507\" title=\"Mobile collaborative picking robots are waiting to be deployed\" src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PM-Launch-Europe-2.jpg\" alt=\"Mobile collaborative picking robots are waiting to be deployed\" width=\"580\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PM-Launch-Europe-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PM-Launch-Europe-2-600x570.jpg 600w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PM-Launch-Europe-2-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PM-Launch-Europe-2-768x730.jpg 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/PM-Launch-Europe-2-1024x973.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20507\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Waiting to be deployed.
