…aware” WMS encompasses WES. HighJump is also part of Körber, which offers warehouse automation and logistics software solutions. For instance, if a facility is doing AMR-assisted cluster picking in one zone and an AMR-based good-to-person workflow in another, with other fixed automation feeding into or out of those areas, WES keeps the overall flow balanced, says Elliott. “The WES, or in our case, our automation-aware WMS, is what is sitting in the middle, with visibility into which technology is doing what, and how to apportion work so that different robotic zones, the traditional automation, and the humans in the DC…

…the Espelkamp, German-based company. Meyer’s team worked with integrator Körber AG to design a showcase for automation. It included robotic 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…

…are,” said John Santagate, vice president of robotics with Körber Supply Chain, which offers automation and warehouse management systems (WMS) and partners with multiple robotics vendors. “The more prepared a customer can be to answer those types of issues, the better when looking for robotics solutions.” However, added Santagate, a prospective user operation needs to be ready with questions for robotics vendors, such as: In what type of DC environments and workflows has your robotics offering been most effective and why? How can your system scale to handle my volume peaks and my more normal volumes? For third-party logistics warehouses,…
