Robotic Parcel Pickup Point

Fabrit developed the complete mechanical design of a robotic parcel pickup point intended for indoor use. The system uses a Cartesian robot to automatically transport trays containing parcels between the user interface area and dedicated storage locations.

The project was delivered as a complete engineering package, including the device concept, mechanical design and production-ready technical documentation.

Challenge

The customer was developing a new automated parcel handling product but had limited internal mechanical engineering capacity available for the project.

The new system had to combine automatic parcel storage and retrieval with efficient use of the available internal space, reliable tray handling and a robust enclosure suitable for intensive use in public and semi-public environments.

Implemented solution

• Cartesian robot for automatic tray transport.
• Storage rack system optimised for efficient use of internal space.
• Automatic tray pickup and placement mechanism.
• Precise positioning during parcel transfer.
• Mechanical design adapted for indoor public environments.
• Reinforced, vandal-resistant enclosure.
• Complete manufacturing documentation prepared for production.

Results

The project resulted in a complete, production-ready mechanical design of a robotic parcel pickup system capable of automatically storing and retrieving trays containing parcels.

The solution allowed the customer to expand its product portfolio while increasing internal engineering capacity through cooperation with an external mechanical design partner.

The system architecture also enabled efficient use of the available storage volume while maintaining reliable automated handling of individual trays.
