…a breeze. In three months, ACT noticed considerable productivity gains by using collaborative robots. With a custom solution that fits its needs, the company tripled its pick rates and decreased in-aisle walking by 50% with pick path optimization. Overall, ACT sped up its processing by more than three times—from 25 units per hour to 85 units per hour (in-aisle picking), along with 72 units per hour across the new simplified picking process. Due to this solution, ACT used cart pick, rather than bulk pool, sort and segregate, thereby eliminating double picks and reducing mispicks by 90%. More importantly, by implementing…

…AI between the cloud and edge devices. Humanoid robots gain agility, seek purpose Many androids are designed for human-machine interaction, and some are more lifelike than others. It's worth noting that the ones that are closest to finding commercial value are those that are less interested in closely replicating the human form and more focused on specific tasks, such as package handling or therapy. Boston Dynamics' video of its Atlas robot doing parkour over an obstacle course in the company's headquarters in Waltham, Mass., was all the rage last week (see below). It's a marvel of modern engineering, but it's…
