…conveyor systems and automated storage shuttles. Since May 2021, Waytek has been using three AMRs from Fetch Robotics, now part of Zebra Technologies, at its 100,000-sq.-ft. facility in Chanhassen, Minn. Founded in 1970, Waytek is an electrical components distributor of wire, fasteners, connectors, battery management, and other products used in specialty vehicles and mobile equipment. In 2020, the company realized…

…as retrieval AS/RS, automated storage shuttles, automated sorting, robotic palletizing, and conveyor systems, are mostly complex and fixed systems. But recently, AGVs, AMRs, and mobile picking robots are gaining traction in the market for their easy installation, value, flexibility, and scalability, the research firm found. Based on the market research report “Mobile Robotics in Logistics, Warehousing and Delivery 2022-2042,” IDTechEx…

…to fill orders. The system’s shuttles have access to every storage container in the system. Picking There are two picking processes: Manual picking from the reserve storage area for non-conveyables that are either too large, too fragile or too heavy for the automated system and goods-to-person picking from the automated system. Manual picking Manual items include items like large bags…

…34% this year. Use of shuttles reached 13%, up from 4%. When asked about picking technologies, use of voice-directed solutions jumped from 6% last year to 21% this year. A separate question on order filling techniques also found a 10% increase in the use of batch picking, up from 29% last year to 39% this year. When we asked about…

…and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and mini-shuttles, the “element of sortation” that has to happen at the end—prior to the order being sent out the door—is often best handled by put walls. Within the put walls themselves, Gerbitz is seeing more put-to-light technology and other options being infused in the equipment, which is being built to integrate well with other solutions.…

…of goods-to-person picking technologies like shuttles; autonomous mobile robots for robots-to-goods picking; and now technologies for autonomous lift trucks and robotic trailer unloading. Then you have piece-picking robots, which hold the promise of automating the most labor-intensive processes in any facility—those that involve a person picking items to and from a tote. Take an inside look into the systems in…

…deliver to customers and minimize shuttles between the buildings, Moore adds. Ultimately, better inventory management can come from improved planning, but also by bolstering the WMS foundation and data collection. Wearables or systems like voice picking, for example, can make workers more productive by freeing up their hands and eyes for tasks, while contributing to inventory accuracy. Even the most…
