4 Reasons Why Warehouses Are Switching to Robotic Solutions

4 Reasons Why Warehouses Are Switching to Robotic Solutions

by Tom K / Friday, 14 July 2017 / Published in Blog

A new trend in logistics is warehouse and storage automation technology. Warehouse robotics have been producing huge benefits to distribution centres like Amazon, by performing tasks such as arranging items on shelves that cannot be easily reached or are too heavy. They can also be used as totes that when full, carry the goods to the packing station. If the idea of robots in the warehouse appeals to you, here are four reasons why more warehousing and logistics companies are switching to automaton.

Flexibility and Scalability

Warehouse robots are more flexible and scalable than traditional automation. For instance, robots can pick lightweight, stackable items, fill a tote, and carry it back to a packing station where a human worker can complete his or her task. By allowing the robots to work in warehouse aisles, they can work faster without posing a risk to human workers, who do their daily tasks in a different area.

Improved Speed and Accuracy

Automated warehouse management systems with robots use sensors and software that continuously develops to increase the speed and accuracy of the order fulfillment process. When operations run faster and more efficiently, companies can stay on top of their business and provide greater customer satisfaction.

Reduced Cost and Time

With increased speed comes reduced cost and time. The entire process, from a customer’s order being made to it arriving on their doorstep, can be done within 48 hours. Services like Amazon Prime have been streamlined to keep robotics and workers on track, and update the customer with automated messages of the shipment status. Amazon uses tens of thousands of robots to assist in warehouse procedures, and they save a lot of money and time because of them. Google Inc. is even looking into fixed-wing drones that deliver packages to customers even faster than ground vehicles.

Easy Pick-and-Pack

Robotics has supported the growth of many companies over the last few years. Using computer-vision and machine deep-learning technologies, robots can pick items one at a time and package them. They are able to locate products sitting somewhere on a specific stack of shelves, safely retrieve them, and pack them into cardboard shipping boxes neatly and carefully.
