MHP study proves it: Wireless charging increases productivity of AGVs by 50%
The aim of the MHP study was to demonstrate the advantages of process-integrated charging points using inductive point charging systems such as Wiferion over conventional charging zones using a real-life optimization scenario in a medium-sized production company.
Automation isn't a one-size-fits-all: 5 key considerations for your warehouse
From AI-vision systems revolutionizing inventory management to advanced depalletization solutions streamlining logistics, we'll explore five critical considerations that can make or break your journey toward integrating robotics into warehouse operations.
Solving the logistics labor puzzle: Choreographing a Tango of Robots and Human Labor in Warehouse Operations
The most pressing dilemma for the logistics industry is perhaps maximizing output levels that match consumer needs while not having enough employees taking up physically demanding tasks like parcel picking and sorting.
Sneaker and Sportswear Retailer's New Mezzanine and Ground Floor Feature ResinDek Robotic Flooring
As directed by the facility's warehouse management software (WMS), a fleet of 142 AMRs continuously delivers mobile shelves to associates at workstations equipped with light directed picking modules on both floors.
The Interplay Between Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing
AI and robotics make the factories of the future smarter and more efficient. Manufacturers need to use these exponential technologies to gain a competitive advantage.
Are Labeling and Palletizing Robots the Secret Weapon Manufacturers Need?
Robots are not magic fixes to all manufacturing industry obstacles, but they can allow users to overcome many challenges when implemented thoughtfully.
What are the Key Camera Features of Warehouse Automation Drones?
Warehouse automation drones require advanced camera vision sensors and technologies to ensure performance. Enhancing the navigation accuracy and decision-making capabilities of drones can be achieved by incorporating appropriate camera features into their embedded systems.
How to Handle Post-Holiday Returns with Warehouse Automation
For retail warehouses, processing this flood of returns tests capacities and efficiency. But technologies like warehouse automation and robotics can transform returns management into a streamlined operation.
The Warehouse Automation Industry Structure is Changing: Are You Ready for Disruption?
The industry value chain is changing. We're seeing a shift away from highly customized fixed automation solutions to more modular, configurable, and standardized systems, like AutoStore and OPEX. This will have far reaching implications on the industry's value chain.
Implementing the Most Efficient Picking Paths to Meet Crucial KPIs
In today's demanding market, efficiency of operations is an essential factor to remaining competitive. One area where there are often substantial opportunities for improvement is your warehouse pick paths.
Dexterity AI and FedEx Unveil First-of-its-Kind Robotics Trailer Loading Technology
Dexterity AI focuses on the complexity of truck loading by giving mobile robots a suite of intelligence ranging from the ability to see, touch, think, and move quickly to pack trailers with stable, dense walls of randomized boxes.
Tompkins Industries Reaches New Heights with its Vertical Lift Automation System
The automated vertical lift project kicked off in January 2022 and relied heavily on technical assistance from the team at PathGuide to incorporate the automated vertical lift into Latitude.
Motors In Automated Warehouse Operations
Although at present robotic automation forms only a small part of warehouse spending it is predicted that it could grow from $3.6bn in 2021 to $18bn in 2025. As technology and AI's improve, automation systems will grow even faster.
Goods-to-Person Picking Systems
Imagine a warehouse where every item you need is just a few clicks away. That is the beauty of Goods-to-Person Picking Systems (G2P or GTP). These innovative automated systems are revolutionizing the world of order fulfillment
Updating Warehouse Automation Solutions to Improve Productivity and Profitability
Instead of having a thin layer of WES and FMS that cannot be dissociated from the robotic solution, I foresee robust, best of breed, stand-alone FMS and WES applications being developed.
