…both manual and automated - which can enable fleet orchestration from a safety-first point of view. “If we only care about the robots, then we are missing the big picture,” Nicholson said. Deep learning, object recognition to improve throughput Heterogeneous fleets of manual vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and people on the floor can allow warehouse operators to maximize throughput. But if robots lack the ability to understand what objects are around them to adjust their behaviors, engineering controls need to be implemented, which can actually hinder efficiency. Engineering controls might include creating robot-only zones, or setting speed limits on autonomous vehicles.…

…asked. “Can you optimize the job throughput?” Strong fleet orchestration software is necessary to deliver repeatable and precise automated pallet movements, especially at a commercial scale. At a local level, each lift truck needs to safely handle pallets and navigate. But from a throughput perspective, facility operators don’t choose automation because they want one robot - they want to add an entire fleet of autonomous vehicles to improve speed and accuracy. “It's comparatively fairly easy to get one truck to do one thing, one time,” Griffin said. “To get many trucks doing many things at the same time is quite…

AutoScheduler.AI, a warehouse orchestration platform and WMS accelerator, announced the release of its centralized warehouse orchestration platform, which gives companies a centralized view of multi-site data. The program is called AutoPilot Central and enables supply chain executives to get an aggregated, bird's eye view across multiple sites and, more importantly, rank them and take corrective action for areas out of service to mitigate risk across the network. AutoPilot aggregates data, uses predictive analytics “With the pace at which warehouses introduce new technology and dynamically change, managing an operation has become overwhelming, especially since leading shippers with multiple sites often have…

…warehouse automation-related software, such as robotic picking software, multi-fleet orchestration platforms, and warehouse control systems (WCS), are expected to grow rapidly and at a higher growth rate than the total warehouse software market. RaaS, AMR adoption has driven need for fleet management “The exponential growth of the warehouse automation-related software segment we have observed is the result of a few key drivers,” said Irene Zhang, Interact Analysis senior analyst. Zhang listed three drivers, the first being that the growth of warehouse automation has created a need for software that can be used to control systems and execute tasks. Additionally, modular…
