…was the new goods-to-person system from OPEX, which decouples robots from its high-density storage medium. Goods-to-person isn’t new for the industry or OPEX, but the new product is a sustaining innovation based on what the company has already done. Industry consolidation continues One notable deal around the show was the acquisition of SDI Systems by Element Logic, a Norwegian firm that is the largest integrator of AutoStore. SDI will serve as Element Logic’s base to enter the North and South American markets. Examples of partnerships to gain access to new markets included Murata Machinery and AGVE Group, Muratec and Cimcorp,…

…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…

…sensors and machine learning. By giving mobile and picking robots more human-like perception of their physical environments, developers are also increasing the level of precision that users can expect from them. This in turn has expanded the range of tasks and services that robots can perform autonomously. “Robotics is often defined as an intelligent connection between sensing and acting,” said Sean Johnson, chief technology officer at Locus Robotics. “The sensor data is fed to algorithms that allow robots to actively map their working environments, recognize known objects as well as unknown obstacles, predict the movement of objects, predict congestion, and…
