Autonomous Mobile Robots, palletization systems, and other robotic technology systems are becoming increasingly popular in modern warehouses, distribution and fulfillment centers. These robotic systems can assist with a wide range of repetitive tasks, increasing operational efficiency and improving safety for your human workers.
Why Invest In Warehouse Robots?
Warehouse robotic systems can greatly improve the safety and efficiency of your operations compared to using only human operators. Some key benefits of our automation technologies are:
Increased Efficiency
Warehouse robots can help streamline product picking, sorting, and packing. Because industrial robots can work at a consistent pace for extended periods, they can be far faster and more efficient than human workers. Over a high volume of products, this can bring about significant time savings.
Labor Cost Reduction
By automating repetitive tasks, you can reduce the number of staff and the amount of manual labor you need to perform those duties. In this way, warehouse automation helps reduce staffing costs and eliminates seasonal bottlenecks and challenges associated with workforce shortages.
Improved Accuracy
Robots can be programmed to perform tasks with a consistently high degree of precision, reducing the likelihood of errors or lost products and preventing product damage. In the long term, this results in fewer product returns, fewer delays and increased customer satisfaction.
Enhanced Safety
Robots are well-equipped to lift heavy or awkwardly shaped loads and work in difficult environments, such as a refrigerated warehouse. Using robots for these jobs reduces the need to expose humans to potential health and safety risks.
Scalability
Automation is a boon for warehouses that deal with fluctuating demand, such as seasonal peaks in orders. It’s often easier and more efficient to make changes to automation than it is to hire and train new freelance workers for short periods of time. In addition, employers can benefit from cost savings during quieter periods because they don’t have to worry about paying staff who are on contract but under-utilized.
Robot technology can be used for palletization, picking and packing, and many other tasks in warehouses and distribution centers. Thanks to IoT technology, it’s possible to automate and monitor huge portions of the supply chain.
