…as its hard to look at the KION/Dematic and Honeywell/Intelligrated couplings and not wonder how materials handling might look going forward. The fundamental challenges facing end users are age-old, including space utilization, inventory management and order fulfillment. But, between shuttles, putwalls, pocket sorters, robotics and software, we’re seeing new and ingenious uses of equipment and technology to solve those problems. What does it look like at KION and Dematic? To find out, I had a chance to talk to Riske and John Baysore, who is now Dematic’s president and CEO, right before PackExpo. Here’s what they had to say. Dematic…

…these spaces,” explains Earl Wohlrab, robotics integration manager at Honeywell Intelligrated. “These fixed paths had to be clear in order for mobile robots to be able to do their jobs.” Creating those paths isn’t easy in a warehouse or DC, where the physical environment is constantly changing, says Wohlrab. Complicating the issue even further is the need for guidance systems that relied on magnets and/or magnetic tape or localized global positioning systems (GPS). Innovations like simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)—or, building a localized map while at the same time localizing the robot within that map—are allowing mobile robots to “become…
