…a look at some examples. The first example is Körber, whose WCS allows customers to manage and optimize material flow using their entire portfolio of material handling equipment (MHE), rather than individually controlling automation devices. Körber’s WCS is vendor-agnostic, and the German company said it creates a single point of data and communication, as well as provides centralized control and management. It can control all types of conveyor technology, shuttle systems, and ASRS, said Körber. The second example is Savoye, a French automation company that offers a WCS to manage and supervise all scheduling, synchronization, and routing operations in the…

…Led by companies such as Swisslog, Bastian Solutions, and Körber, the global ASRS industry is set to be valued at over $18 billion (U.S.) by 2030, with a year-over-year growth of 9% from 2021 to 2030, said the research firm. ASRS includes a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations, which is ideal for high volume of loads being moved into and out of storage, said ABI. This trend falls in line with the fact that the logistics sector has been experiencing high volume over the past year, it added. Parcel shipping reached…

…its supply chain strategy, the leading retailer partnered with Körber to deploy more than 100 autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) at its distribution centre in Melbourne, Australia. Utilising its power to make quick decisions in a challenging situation, Catch Group introduced flexible automation in order to meet huge spikes in demand due to COVID-19. The AMRs now provide the leading retailer with the ability to pick an additional 2,000 orders per hour and add a further 20,000 stock-keeping-units (SKUs) to its original 80,000. These capabilities played a major role in the e-commerce leader being able to grapple with its busiest-ever peak…

…and third-party logistics (3PL) at integrator and software provider Körber Business Area Supply Chain. Couto said that Körber saw this appeal with the RaaS success of its partner Locus Robotics. Since not all its robotics partners offered RaaS, Körber launched an RaaS program of its own. “We saw from observing the market and what Locus was doing that the model works well,” he recalled. “We felt why not create our own RaaS program and really open the door to a broader market that couldn’t necessarily afford [robots] or that wanted to take the capex route to investing in flexible automation.”…
