…that were designed around the ergonomics, safety and productivity of people and trying to automate each manual process one step at a time. We believe that approach leads to a suboptimal solution design – one with marginal gains and very high integration costs which ultimately dilutes the ROI. At Nimble, we’ve built intelligent robots that automate the hardest manual task…

…addition to increasing efficiency and ergonomics, automated systems allow a warehouse to create robot-only ones and human-robot collaborative environments. Each scenario calls for specific setups. For example, warehouse designs with robot-only areas can install all racks in the middle of a workspace. Human-driven vehicles would stay on the outskirts of such zones, and staffers would only enter it if necessary…
