Warehouse Management Simplified with Robotic Warehouse System

Robotic Warehousing in India is gaining huge popularity with big e-commerce, logistics or retail players realizing the exponential success and accuracy of robots in robotic warehouses.

 

Ordered a product from an e-commerce website and got it delivered the very next day? You should have! But, have you ever wondered where these products are stored, how such numerous items are stored, how they are picked and dispatched when an order is placed? These backend operations of every single order happens in huge Robotic warehouse systems.

 Warehousing is an integral part of Supply Chain Management that is greatly dominated by the human workforce. Considering the limitations of the traditional and rigid warehouse automations, many e-commerce giants, third party logistics providers and even big retail players have started investing in Robotic warehouse systems as they are faster, smarter and more efficient in putting the stock in its place and picking the desired products. As the customer demands instant delivery, the warehouses are under constant pressure to deliver the product in the shortest possible time, driving even the small companies to invest in clever Robotic warehouse systems.

 These robots use the visual sensor technology that helps these robots to navigate safely and avoid any obstacle ensuring zero down-time. Additionally, these robots carry Mobile Storage Units (MSU) that can manage different inventory types of up to 1600 kgs like single item, cases, apparel, sacks or barrel drums.

What is a Robotic warehouse system?

 
These are technically advanced warehouse systems. Here a warehouse is equipped with robotic systems that automate picking and put away operation. These robotic warehouses bring MSUs (racks) from different locations in a warehouse at a pick-put station where an operator picks the item for order fulfillment. These robots or AGVs uses goods-to-person technology that compliments human efficiency by eliminating manual errors or delays in walking within a warehouse.

Why should you invest in a Robotic Warehouse Automation?

•   These robots travel across the warehouse, even in multiple floors for faster and accurate order fulfillment.
• These robots operates 24x7, allowing business continuity with the same constant efficiency and zero external influence.
• With the help of machine learning and artificial intelligence, these warehouse robots understand the demand patterns and seasonal peaks that helps in managing the inventory with better accuracy and efficiency.

These warehouse robots arranges MSUs in order of real-time popularity with the help of artificial intelligence. The fast moving goods are placed closer to the picking station, reducing the order cycle-time.

•  These robots can carry enormous payload and even different inventory types as MSUs can be reconfigured to meet change in business needs.
•  MSU contributes to better storage density and results in less need for aisle space.
• Robotic Warehouse Automation system is robust and can be deployed in any existing warehouse space.
•  Additionally, the system is simple and labor friendly. A basic training is required to adapt to the technology.

Robotic warehouse systems have started gaining huge momentum all over the world. So, the next time you order a product from any online or retail store, give a thought about these robotic warehouse systems that stocked your product in a warehouse or a distribution center and moved around to get it on your cart or basket when you ordered it.
