BEDFORD, Mass., June 2, 2025 /CNW/ -- Oxipital AI, a leading provider of AI-powered machine vision systems, is proud to welcome Schmalz into its Preferred Partner Program and to continue its long-standing collaboration with the company.
Through the integration of Oxipital AI's advanced vision-guided inspection and robotic picking technology with Schmalz mGrip® finger grippers and vacuum end-of-arm tooling, this partnership is delivering next-generation robotic grasping solutions that enhance operational efficiency, reduce labor reliance, and ensure consistent, safe, and profitable production for end customers in the food & beverage industry and beyond.
