Given the great demand that is currently being generated and the advances that intralogistics 4.0 has brought, logistics centers have a great need to optimize their processes with state-of-the-art systems, such as the acclaimed robotic technologies.
Robotic technologies have undoubtedly proven to be especially useful to face the logistical problems caused by the new demands of consumers, the exhaustive increase in e-commerce and competition that means much faster response times.
In fact, did you know that, according to DHL Global, robots are expected to take on more roles throughout supply chains in the coming years, in order to assist workers in warehousing, transportation, and logistics activities? even last mile?
But what are the robotic technologies to watch out for?
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
Autonomous Mobile Robots (or AMRs, for its acronym in English) have emerged as one of the main “Good to Person” solutions, to support the picking of the assortment of orders, finding a remarkable place in e-commerce systems.
With their artificial intelligence mechanisms, the AMRs make up a unique system for order preparation by presenting the products in stock that are required according to the orders to be supplied, at the consolidation stations. Everything, always guaranteeing maximum safety, agility and precision.
Mobile robots 3D
For their part, 3D mobile robots offer a unique level of customization and scalability in the market. The expansion of the shelves or of the robots that comprise this solution is carried out without any interruption in the operations of the Distribution Center.
The system is designed to adapt to the requirements of your CEDIS according to the timing of your business or your current and future business needs, guaranteeing optimal productivity in any circumstance.
Thanks to this intelligent design, 3D mobile robots allow last-minute prioritization of orders, so you can always be sure that the next order to prepare will be the most urgent.
Being controlled by highly sophisticated and specialized WCS / WES software, both robotic technologies bring great benefits to the operation, such as:
- 95% space saving
- 99.9% accuracy in picking
- 95% savings in labor (by eliminating tedious and dangerous tasks for staff, optimizing their functions within DC)
- 96% operational ergonomics
Thus, it is considered that those who do not look towards the technological future of intralogistics will hardly be able to satisfy the demands of the market.
