…with one another, but with traditional fixed automation like shuttles. Companies want to accelerate the overall fulfillment process while offsetting the inability to find enough human workers to stick with the manual tasks that often exist on the edges of their operations. Nieves foresees that more and more companies will turn to solutions from robotics partners to extend the benefits of traditional automation like an ASRS. That way, they won’t have one big zone of automation in the middle of a DC with bottlenecks upstream or downstream, he said. “If you make gains by automating in one area, but what…

…automated storage and retrieval (ASRS) system. It includes robotic shuttles that use both horizontal and vertical space, reducing a customer’s warehouse needs by up to 85%, said the company. Attabotics’ fulfillment system uses robotic shuttles that can move in three dimensions to store and pick goods for workers on the outside perimeter to ship. This architecture maximizes the flexibility and speed of warehouse processes while maintaining a cost-effective and eco-friendly methodology, claimed the company. As consumer expectations continue to increase at unprecedented levels, Attabotics said it is helping customers adjust to that surge while also offering a solution to the…

…agile AMRs to numerous pallet movers and multi-ton transport shuttles. BlueBotics cited the following potential benefits of choosing vehicles driven by ANT: Robustness: ANT-driven vehicles are highly reliable, offering repeatable accuracy, each and every time, it said. Flexibility: Vehicles are quick and simple to install – typically taking days, not weeks to commission – and a vehicle’s operations are easy to modify as a site’s needs evolve. Scalability: Many ANT-driven vehicles are 100% interoperable, enabling users to create a custom multi-brand fleet that meets their business’ specific needs. In addition, ANTdriven.com users can request a free consultation call with a…

…facility to retrieve inventory and deliver it to the packing station. In addition, inVia Pickers are mobile, unlike traditional shuttle systems, and they can be moved to work in different zones or in other locations. The company said this eliminates the need for re-engineering facilities, allowing inVia to adapt to different environments. The Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies across the globe for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. inVia said it was awarded based on its commitment to innovation, creativity, and application diversity to meet ever-evolving customer…

Source: Peerless Research Group The long line of attendees waiting to get onto that floor each morning of the four-day event further proved just how hungry logistics operations are for equipment, software, and tools that help them get more done with less. Once inside the exhibition hall, attendees visited spacious booths outfitted with the newest autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), watched robots take on the “heavy lifting” involved with picking and packing orders, and saw how robotics developers and container manufacturers are collaborating to make combined solutions that work in…

…AS/RS, horizontal and vertical carousels. Since the early 2000s, multi-shuttles are compared to those solutions, and over the past 10 years autonomous mobile robotics [AMRs] are a part of every automation study. The modern AMR has seen advancements in technology, application, and there are multiple suppliers such as Locus, 6 Rivers, Fetch, Geek+, INVIA, among others. The other popular technologies we’re evaluating on a regular basis are the AutoStore and OPEX SureSort. The traditional competitors to these goods-to-person technologies are pick modules, unit sorters and put-walls to name a few. LM: Robotics is certainly one of the hottest topics in…

…case handing, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), a shuttle system, vertical lift modules, robotic palletizing and depalletizing, and RFID for tracking. In addition to a focus on automation, sustainability was at the heart of the design. “Sustainability is a key component of HARTING’s 2030 strategy,” Meyer noted, adding that all of the energy in the facility comes from renewable sources. Regenerative braking on storage and retrieval cranes put energy back into the system, and an energy management system ensures the facility optimizes the energy it does use. Similarly, ergonomics played a key role in the design. “The heart of…

…Geek+'s AMRs at Life365's facility. Source: Geek+ The four-way shuttle and P-series picking robot-based solution is Geek+'s latest development with the TICA Systems warehouses represent the first large-scale implementation of this new technology. The company launched Sky-Storage & Ground-Pick last month for international markets. The traditional approach required employees to walk long distances between the warehouse and the production line and was prone to errors and accidents. Geek+ said its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), integrated with storage and picking operations, increased efficiency. Several Geek+ X1200 four-way shuttles are equipped with intelligent high-speed elevators for multi-level storage, which it said improves…
