…picking, retrieving, replenishment, or transferring of bulk stock. Also, Honeywell’s Momentum WES utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms and data-driven optimization techniques to solve warehouse automation. The Honeywell Robotics subsidiary offers AMRs from OTTO Motors with Momentum. How do warehouse systems work with robots? Here are some specific examples of how warehouse management control (WMC) and other software can work with robotics: A WMC system can instruct an ASRS to store and retrieve items within a warehouse. For example, when a customer places an order, the WMC can direct an ASRS to retrieve and transport items to a picking station. A…

…Accutech. At the Honewell Intelligrated booth, one demonstration featured Honeywell’s Smart, Flexible Depalletizer, which uses an articulating arm plus vision and AI, working in concert with an autonomous lift from OTTO Motors. Keith Fisher, president of Honeywell Intelligrated, explained that this type of integrated offering is well-suited to brownfield DCs, where space constraints might make it challenging to install pallet conveyor runs into and out of a robotic depalletizer. Other vendors continued to integrate automated storage systems and shuttles with robotic piece picking. For instance, Vanderlande showed its GtP 2.0 workstation with a robotic piece-picking arm from RightHand Robotics. The…

…Other robotics companies, such as Boston Dynamics, Dextrous Robotics, Honeywell Intelligrated, Technica, and VisionNav, are pursuing truck unloading and palletizing. How are these good problems to solve with automation, and how is Pickle's offering unique? Meyer: Truck unloading, especially floor-loaded trailers and containers, is one of the hardest jobs to hire and retain staff for in warehouses and distribution centers. National figures show that turnover is greater than 40% annually for general warehouse work, but our customers tell us that turnover for unloading floor-loaded trucks is well over 100%. This work is dirty, dull, and physically demanding, yet receiving docks…

…the manual tasks of loading and unloading. Boston Dynamics, Honeywell, and others have been trying to solve this big problem, but their solutions are not yet used at scale by industry. iTLS has gotten ahead. The space still needs maturation, but we've had a massive pull from our clients. Returns processing is another challenge for retail and e-commerce—how does GreyOrange help with that? Kohli: Usually, returns typically don't get merged back with the main inventory. A retailer may sell 10 shirts and get five back, but they go to different places [in the facility]. Then it gets new orders, and…
