Formant enables robot operators to accomplish their most essential jobs during missions, allowing for faster response times, and optimizing the performance of autonomous devices. The three major jobs that Formant simplifies for its users are monitoring the mission, detecting an issue, and intervening to resolve those issues. Let’s see how Formant helps achieve these goals. 1. Monitoring the mission After successfully getting your robots up and ready to start on their mission, continuous monitoring of the status of the mission is critical. Whether the mission is as simple as dropping an object off or more complex involving multiple robots, Formant…

…generation of robotic goods-to-person systems and advances in mobile robots can significantly reduce distribution centers' dependency on manual labor. Warehouses are increasingly investing in technologies that can store, retrieve, and increase order-picking speeds to offset labor costs. Not only can this investment reduce costs and increase efficiency, but it can also enable better utilization of facility space. Goods-to-person (G2P) functionality can rapidly expand to meet these needs, making warehouse robots more cost-effective. As a result, G2P systems and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are the fastest-growing product segments in the material handling automation space. AMRs outsold automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for…
