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.

5 Compelling Benefits Of Automation In Your Warehouse

The rapid expansion of the warehouse automation market is fueled by the diverse benefits that these technology solutions offer, and this article highlights just a few of the most compelling advantages.

Innovation in Mobile Robots for Warehouse Automation

The software is where the real magic is, though, at ForwardX. Our f(x) Fleet Manager is constantly improving using deep learning AI that analyzes every input and creates the most efficient process when dispatching AMRs for large orders or multiple orders.

Maximising the Potential of AMRs with Software Integration

Software solutions such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) have helped to optimise operations, and Pick-to-Light technology has transformed the speed and accuracy of stock picks. The result of this investment has been pockets of efficiency gains. But is this enough?

Random Depalletization

As the existing robotic automation could only handle boxes of consistent size and with certain conditions, there was a limit to realize full automation in reality. It stems from the fact that the robot could not take boxes of irregular sizes.

Accommodating Market Volumes and Staying Competitive with Scalable Sensor Solutions

As companies continue to integrate more automation into their warehouses and DCs, the need for intelligent sensors to monitor and guide that equipment in a very safe, efficient, and productive manner will also increase.

Top of the Shops: Smart Warehouses & Evolving E-Commerce

Following the substantial rise that the e-commerce industry has experienced in the past few years and the consequential strain placed on warehousing facilities, sales growth is starting to slow following its pre-pandemic high.

How Does the "Goods-To-Person" Method Improve Warehouse Efficiency?

Traditionally, the goods-to-person method is enabled by large and complex AS/RS systems where shuttle carts, roller conveyors, and stack cranes are used for transporting items. Recently, implementing mobile robots in warehouses for automation has been increasingly popular.
