Onward Robotics said it will deploy its Meet Me autonomous offering, including its Lumabot AMR above, to 3PL provider Distribution Management.
Onward Robotics, a mobile robotics and software company, announced an agreement to provide its Meet Me automation offering to Distribution Management, a distributor and national third-party logistics (3PL) provider with more than 50 years of expertise in distribution and fulfillment.
Distribution Management (DM) will use Onward Robotics’ Pyxis software and 30+ Lumabot autonomous mobile robots in its St. Peters, Mo. fulfillment center with potential to expand to multiple DM sites in 2025.
Deploying in Q1 2025, Onward said its person-to-goods automation offering will enhance DM’s distribution flow and management of goods, supporting the 3PL’s ability to process orders quickly and maintain its impressive record of delivering 99.98% order accuracy.
“DM has an established history of order fulfillment and inventory management innovation, and we’re proud they’ve recognized Onward’s Meet Me solution as the breakthrough industry leader in automated order fulfillment,” said Lance VandenBrook, CEO of Onward Robotics. “Onward is committed to helping DM and its customers gain efficiency and flexibility in their supply chain operations, and we’re looking forward to shared successes and future innovation with the DM team.”
Onward Robotics said its Meet Me model decouples the work of fulfillment associates and Lumabot AMRs, allowing each to function as independent agents of the overall system.
Proprietary Pyxis technology uses intelligent mission planning and dynamic labor balancing to optimize task management: reducing unproductive travel time, increasing flexibility and delivering the capacity to move more orders, more efficiently.
