…was a robot-to-goods picking system designed by Numina Group that used autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from Waypoint Robotics, since purchased by Locus Robotics. The ability of Waypoint's AMRs to carry up to 700 lb. was essential because NorthShore Care ships full cases of product to its customers. Those cases were delivered to an automated packing, labeling, and shipping line. The Waypoint Vector AMRs use wireless chargers from WiBotic. That was Phase 1.

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.

…design from NorthShore Care Supply’s solution provider (Numina Group) features AMRs (Waypoint Robotics,) capable of moving very large carts that can carry up to a 700-pound payload while keeping order selectors in designated pick areas like the more conventional AMRs we’re familiar with. A fleet of six AMRs can process approximately 3,500 orders a day. Dan Hanrahan, president of Numina Group, estimates that using a more conventional AMR solution would have required a fleet of 30 robots. The design also…

…booth (Booth 9600), executives with Way-point and Numina detailed how they teamed up to create an automated batch order picking solution based on Waypoint’s autonomous mobile robot (AMR) and Numina’s voice-directed picking and Real-time Distribution Software (RDS) solution. The RDS software’s Batch Bot Voice Picking Application integrates with Waypoint’s Vector AMR and “Kingpin” attachment module to enable an efficient zone batch-picking application that combines mobile robots with voice. The robots autonomously perform the needed materials transport, while the RDS software…
