Going through voice picking, pick to light, pick cart, etc., today we are faced with a total disruption in terms of assortment technologies ... 3D mobile robots!
What are 3D mobile robots?
3D mobile robots are machines controlled by software that combines artificial intelligence mechanisms to achieve autonomous movement on storage racks and picking stations.
Their particularity is that they not only have the ability to move horizontally on flat surfaces, but they can also do so vertically by anchoring themselves to storage racks.
3D mobile robots operate under the Good to person principle, so their function is to go up to the position where the requested products are, take the tote or the box that contains them, and then lead them to the assortment station where the operators are doing the picking. Once the required quantity of the product has been taken, the robot returns the tote / box to its respective location.
3D mobile robots can scale shelves up to 10 m. high and create a totally agile and safe environment for operators by allowing order consolidation in less than 5 minutes!
Benefits of order assortment with 3D mobile robots
✓ Higher storage capacity with high density
✓ Significant increase in picking speed per workstation (up to 500 totes / hour)
✓ Easy scalability without the need to stop the operation
✓ Fast implementation
✓ Energy saving: Robots charge automatically while they are at the filling stations
Another great advantage of this innovative technology is that, when maintenance or troubleshooting is required, there is no need to shut down the entire system, which ensures a continuous and effective operating flow in any circumstance.
