…incontinence supplies and adult diapers, sold online for home delivery but also with a growing channel shipping to institutions. Either way, orders are stored at the case level rather than the unit level and mostly picked in cases, with a small percentage of item-level picks. Given the products handled, the cases are large and bulky. And, given the urgent need for the supplies, NorthShore Care Supply’s policy is to ship the same day orders are received. Fulfillment speed is critical to make parcel carrier cutoff times. Before building the new facility, associates picked cases to three-tier carts they pushed through…

…is to track Increasing competition to offer the fastest delivery times possible - two, one, and even same-day delivery have fast become the norm Humans are great but we're prone to error - robots are so much better at the dull, dirty, and dangerous We believe that warehouses should always know where everything is. This is why my co-founder, Joe Moster, and I founded Ware. We build technology to optimize warehouse inventory tracking - one of the most mundane, yet critically important parts of the supply chain. We help facilities manage their inventory with automation and digitization. And we do…

…and parcel shipping markets. Rising consumer demand for shorter delivery times has increased the need for improved efficiency in sortation, induction, and singulation of the millions of packages which must be handled each day. The repetitive nature of these material handling tasks leads to high employee turnover and thus a need for an automated solution.“It’s an exercise in labor optimization,” Plus One Robotics Chief Executive Erik Nieves said. “Our PickOne technology enables robots to perform these simple yet necessary operations, allowing employees to flow to higher value work.” At up to 1500 picks per hour, the software allows robots to…
