…amazing things.” John Santagate, vice president of robotics at Körber Supply Chain, added: “A significant challenge is often scaling up and down to accommodate peak periods. With a goods-to-person (G2P) system, you can build it to support peak and operate at average needs until you need to scale it up for peak, which means again, adding few extra personnel, not an army.” “Furthermore, with robots, you are leveraging a shared resource, which means it’s easy to add a shift, since the mobile robots don’t care about quitting time,” he said. Zebra's FetchCore software is designed to make controlling robots easier.…
