…operations, says Kevin Paramore, emerging technology commercialization manager for Yale Materials Handling Corp. Now as the economy and the materials handling world deals with pandemic effects like higher unemployment, the labor situation is different, but due to health and safety policies put in place that keep workers who are feeling ill at home, it remains challenging for DCs to count on having enough workforce. The end effect is that more operations will see robotic lift trucks as part of the automation answer to labor shortages. “When you consider all the factors like the high turnover rate in warehouses, and rising…

…vertically, says Kevin Paramore, emerging technology commercialization manager for Yale Materials Handling, a lift truck provider. “The technology’s value comes in providing for very consistent, repeatable processes while reducing labor requirements,” Paramore says. Paramore advises that autonomous lift trucks, tow tractors and other robotic vehicles typically don’t operate as fast or aggressively as a human operated equivalent does, which is why Yale figures it takes about 1.3 robotic lift trucks to replace the workload of one human-operated vehicle. However, with many DCs running multiple shifts, while struggling to find enough operators, robotic trucks can bring payback in as little as…

Yale Materials Handling Corporation has announced the company’s first Edison Award, taking home gold in the autonomous work solutions category with its robotic reach truck. A panel of more than 3,000 executives from around the world recognized the Yale robotic reach truck for its use of innovative technology to expand the capability of lift truck-based robotics and address key business challenges facing warehousing and logistics operations. The ability to lift as high as 30 feet and reach into double-deep storage locations separates the robotic reach truck from other entries in the category and enables operations to automate new processes beyond…

…North Haven facility probably stocks a good selection of Yale-related merchandise since the university is just down the road; for a facility in California – not so much. Sortable items that are small enough to be handled on a conveyor and sortation system go to facilities like North Haven, while non-sortables go to facilities designed to handle larger items. At the North Haven facility, newly received merchandise is decanted into totes, including products that can be shipped in its transport packaging. Those totes are then routed to one of four pick module levels. On each level, robots and storage cubes…

…This opportunity is leading vehicle manufacturers such as Toyota, Yale & Hyster, and Raymond to partner with robotics companies to offer automation to manufacturers. Given the global shipments for forklifts is close to 1 million, half of all shipments could be automated by 2030. Another significant sector for mobile automation will be maintenance and cleaning. There are already over 5,000 autonomous floor scrubbers in U.S. retail stores and commercial buildings. With Softbank’s deployment of mobile cleaners for offices being rolled out in Asia and the United States, cleaning robots will become a common sight within the service economy. Even more…
