Have robots pick orders in the warehouse

Warehouses pick orders with robots and AI control

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsLetting machines & robots work autonomouslyLogistics & transport, Retail & e-commerce

Fits: Logistics & warehousing

Robots bring shelves or containers to the packing station or move the goods themselves, and an AI assigns orders and routes. Long walking distances disappear, and peaks, for example before public holidays, are easier to absorb.

Is this for you?

  • You pick many small orders with many items, and walking takes up a large part of the time.
  • Your item master data is well maintained: dimensions, weights and storage locations are correct.
  • You are planning a conversion or extension of the warehouse anyway.
First step today

Export the order lines from [4] typical weeks from your warehouse management system, without names of customers or employees, and analyse them with the template below. This shows you how many items and picks are suitable for robots and where your peaks are.

How to go about it

  1. Define the warehouse area, items and throughput
  2. Draw up a safety plan for people and robots
  3. Choose a robot system and connect it to the warehouse system
  4. Start with one sub-area under supervision
  5. Take over areas and items step by step
  6. Keep checking throughput, faults and safety
