…provides high-quality wood products to global furniture brands, including IKEA and Sauder Woodworking. By making its fleet of forklifts autonomous and electric, Arauco will achieve its environmental sustainability goals while maximizing operational productivity, efficiency, and safety, said the companies. However, Arauco first had to find the right partner for the automation it wanted. “When Arauco looked at automation solutions from existing partners, nobody served its use case, and so it ran its own RFQ [request for quotes],” recalled Landen. “We went through a non-trivial process that took several months.” Cyngn added that its proprietary artificial intelligence will enable autonomous lifts…

…the vision-based autonomous forklift can then pick it up. IKEA uses our f(x) fleet manager for case and piece picking. It handles order groupings and dispatch for 40 AMRs in 300 shelves. How interoperable are your systems with other robots, inventory software, and warehouse management systems (WMS)? Guan: With sensor fusion, not only can our AMRs sense other robots or humans, but the neural network can also understand doors. If an AMR sees a lift truck, it knows when to stop. Our robot-agnostic fleet manager integrates with WMS and TMS [transportation management systems] if customers have one, and they help…

…to 1/16 of an inch, claimed Dusty. FieldPrinter prints “IKEA instructions” directly on the floor that instruct crews exactly what to build where, it added. By eliminating layout delays, errors, and rework, the mobile robot can help keep projects on time and on budget, said the company. Were there any challenges in adapting different building information models for FieldPrinter? “BIM is quickly becoming a standard across the industry,” Lau told Robotics 24/7. “The majority of projects are designed and coordinated in BIM. What our product does is increase the value of those 3D models by bringing them out into the…

…is a cookie cutter building: Like Gap Inc. and IKEA, Medline uses successful building designs for its new facilities. At the same time, each iteration builds on the lessons learned in those other facilities. That’s the case in Grayslake. A $140 million investment, it is referred to internally as the fourth-generation design and incorporates the lessons learned after nearly nine years working with AutoStore. Some examples of this include: Workstations close to the robots: In many AutoStore implementations, donor totes are picked on top of the grid and conveyed down a level to goods-to-person workstations. In the new Medline design,…
