The process

Singulation depends on turning unpredictable bulk into an even, single-file stream

Mixed bulk comprised of goods such as cartons, polybags, oversized items and items on top of each other (doubles), arrives on a singulator and must leave as a neven, gapped and single-file stream systems down the line can handle.

A well-working singulator raises throughput per square meter and kepps the feeding the next step in the material flow, but only works when every item is separated, spaced and oriented correctly before it reaches the next step.

Singulation breaks when the goods mix changes and manual exception handling increases

Traditional singulators were designed to handle a pre-defined goods mix across multiple mechanical stages to execute the singulation

goods mix

Bulk is unpredictable and brings challenges every day

exception handling

Oversized goods and doubles which slip through turn into system jams further down the line and require manual cleanup work

footprint

Sub-steps in the singulation operation are executed sequentially, where every sub-step requires an additional hardware footprint

OmniMod is very advantageous for us. It handles goods more efficiently, but most importantly it increases our quality. This strengthens Ramberg's competitive edge and ensures a better customer experience.

How autonomous singulation changes your operations

Every parcel is accounted for

Tracked individually throughout the whole flow, and the image database of every parcel ensures complete traceability.

Exceptions handled autonomously

Goods route around stuck items "on-the-fly", and doubles and problem goods are rejected off the surface before they become a jam.

One surface replaces the whole chain

Separation, rotation, gapping, alignment and rejection happen at once on a single surface rather than in sequence across a chain of dedicated sub-machines.

The flow changes without the floor changing

New goods mix, new destinations, new business logic — all go live through software updates. Capacity grows by adding modules, not by rebuilding.

How it works

From the unloading point to the outbound lane, without manual handling in between.

01

Eliminates intake friction

Seamless, controlled entry of bulk on inbound conveyors.

02

Observes and tracks individual parcels in real-time

Full visibility enables individual goods traceability

03

Intelligently singulates on a single surface

Separation, rotation, gapping, alignment all happen at the same time, on a single, minimal-footprint system

04

Autonomously handles exceptions to keep the flow moving

Oversized goods and doubles are autonomously sent to reject lines and stuck goods are autonomously re-routed around

05

Flows onwards

The system outputs evenly spaced, single-file outbound streams ready for further manual or automated handling

AI-driven intelligence sees, understands and controls every item individually

Each item's route is decided individually and autonomously re-decided in real time

Movement
Traditional
Goods must move in fixed streams

Each function needs its own stage, and the layout decides the flow.

OmniMod
Goods move freely and independently

Every parcel is controlled individually on a multi-capable, minimal-footprint surface.

Handling
Traditional
Manual handling adds touches

More touches per parcel, and error probability rises with every touch.

OmniMod
Autonomous handling

Autonomous grouping, buffering, sequencing and exception handling reduce errors and touches per parcel.

Adaptability
Traditional
Doing more requires more footprint and scaling is rigid

Manning is required at both ends, and changing the flow means changing the hardware.

OmniMod
Do more on a smaller footprint and seamlessly scale modularly

Adapting to changing flow demands requires only a software update, and buffer capacity scales by adding modules.

Operators working alongside the OmniMod system at B.H. Ramberg
On the floor

The work gets easier, not just faster

Goods come to the operator, at the height they work at, in the order they need them. Nobody walks the floor hunting for a parcel that should have been staged, lifts between levels, or waits for the next thing to arrive. The system holds the queue, so the pace is steady instead of alternating between idle and swamped.

What is left is the part of the job that genuinely needs a person: judgement on exceptions, quality calls, and keeping the operation moving. Teams that have made this change report less physical strain at the end of a shift, and a clearer sense of what their day is actually for.

Start small and grow without rebuilding

Every phase is a complete, working system

Phase 1 — 5×5 m system with manual infeed
Phase 1

Start small

Start with just automating with a single infeed and outfeed line, plus one reject line

Phase 2 — same footprint with robot infeed
Phase 2

Add outfeed lines

Increase throughput by adding outfeed lines

Phase 3 — added modules and automated handling
Phase 3

Change the layout

With software-defined flow, matching the physical layout of infeed and outfeed lines with new flow logic only requires a wireless software update

What buyers ask us first

What goods can you move?

We move a wide variety of goods, from cartons to polybags.

Will it perform as promised before we commit to installation?

Flow simulations, tests, and a digital twin validate every flow requirement before a single module is shipped.

How hard is it to integrate with our existing systems?

We provide swift integration with partner systems (WMS, WCS, robot controller etc.) which unlocks value realization from day one.

How long until we see value after commissioning?

Hardware arrives pre-assembled with software already tested in simulation, which makes commissioning straightforward and predictable. It's ready for go-live in weeks, not months.

What if we need to change the flow later?

OmniMod products ship as-is with a standard capability configuration. Adding capabilities and changing flow rules are only a wireless software update, not hardware rebuilds.
