The ability of Waypoint Robotics' AMRs to carry up to 700 lb. was essential because NorthShore Care ships full cases to its customers. Those cases were delivered to a fairly automated packing, labeling, and shipping line. Greenberg, the company's president, said he embraced automation for several reasons: First, it was now affordable for midmarket companies like NorthShore Care Supply. Second, automation allowed Greenberg to build capacity into the system—he saw a 40% to 50%…

…creates tasks for the autonomous mobile robots. The WCS groups orders by travel time and pick density and dispatches the robots. An available robot picks up a cart and travels toward its first pick location; at the same time, the voice system directs the nearest available order selector to the pick location. The order selector picks a carton to one of the pick locations and validates the pick with a ring scanner. Once all of the picks in an area are complete, the robot indexes to the next location. On light days, the order selector may walk with the robot.…
