…it’s my imagination, but there seemed to be more AGVs and mobile robots than ever. Shuttles galore: With the explosion of piece picking, it’s no surprise that shuttles to enable goods-to-person piece picking were on prominent display. I noted shuttles at the booths for Dematic, Intelligrated, viastore, Schaefer, OPEX and Knapp to name a few. At the same time, based on the number of pick-and-put-to-light displays I saw, picking mezzanines and putwalls appear to be alive and well. Software is more important than ever: For proof, I note that both Dematic and Intelligrated are sponsoring separate booths just for their…

…36 of those spools onto an automatic guided vehicle (AGV). The AGV can then move to another area of the warehouse or plant to offload the items. “This is just one example of how we’re already seeing robotic arms integrated with vehicles,” says Longacre, “and being used to manage stationary/repetitive tasks.” Don Heelis, sales manager at Cimcorp, is also bullish on the robot’s ability to break through the barriers and start handling more distribution functions. He says Cimcorp has completed a number of installations with autonomous robots in a fleet environment, which is yet another step in the direction of…

…manufacturers will be investing in robotics, autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) and associated systems within their warehousing operations to drive automation into their fulfillment processes. ● By 2018, proliferation of advanced, purpose-built, analytic applications aligned to the Internet of Things (IoT) will result in 15% productivity improvements for manufacturing supply chains. ● By 2020, 50% of the operational jobs in the supply chain will have evolved into “knowledge” roles required to support new technologies like cognitive computing and modern robotics. IDC also offered the following observations: ● Customer engagement and customer service are woven into a number of manufacturer’s priorities and…

…and placed in a bin, an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) might ferry them to a pick location, or straight to packout. A robotic picking system might both pick and pack. People and robots might occupy the same aisle, collaborate on the same order, or specialize in the handling of certain SKU or order profiles. Of all the possible paths, experts agree that there are a few configurations that seem promising. Many people are familiar with goods-to-person systems, including high-density AS/RS and shuttle systems, autonomous carts, or conveyor and sortation systems. Preiss sees opportunities for goods-to-robot systems, which capitalize on the…
