…of testing for optimal location infrastructure deployment in dynamic industrial settings with changing obstacles and interference can be higher than the rollout of the infrastructure itself. It can also be very difficult to convince industrial customers to invest or accept new technologies. For customers with an existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, introducing them to Bluetooth or other connected sensor devices can be…

…has to work within existing infrastructure and labeling practices to lead to widespread adoption. PINC started developing PINC Air indoor inventory technology in 2014 based on its outdoor technology used for tracking inventory in equipment and storage yards. The technology operates autonomously, taking off and landing from the same location automatically, and avoids any obstructions in its flight path. It…

…with less reliance on guidance infrastructure like tape, and more use of smart, on-board navigation. The AMR term has emerged to describe this self-driving nature. 3PL RK Logistics is using Fetch Robotics’ AMRs for materials transport. The robots eliminate labor hours consumed pushing goods on a cart. The flexibility of today’s AMRs makes them suited to DCs, notes Sharma. “Logistics…

…don’t have to change your infrastructure.” The solution came about by happenstance. “Our focus has always been inventory at rest, and in the context of trailers, about 80% of the time, they’re unhooked in a fenced-in environment. Initially, a few customers, especially in automotive, asked us to think about elevating our platform, and that got us to thinking about drones…

…only as good as its infrastructure, and the report makes clear that logistics operations will pay a price for long-delayed improvements to modernization of the U.S. network of roads, bridges, ports and airports. That lack of any expansion of infrastructure spending is also expected to be a drag on productivity in the United States. The World Economic Forum’s “Global Competitiveness”…

…see changes in the physical infrastructure and software managing DCs that no one has imagined,” says Simmerman. Applying AI to WMS Last year, we featured Lodge Manufacturing’s new distribution center in Tennessee. While it was a conventional DC in many respects, relying on lift trucks and pallet and shelf storage, one technology stood out: a Cloud-based, iOS native warehouse management…
