Logistics automation
Logistics automation speeds up business processes and increases overall efficiency.
Automation of logistics processes refers to the use of operating systems, machines, hardware, or software to improve the efficiency of certain logistics processes. Thus, it usually refers to automation processes in distribution centres or warehouses.
Labour savings from being able to work faster
Fewer errors gives lower costs and higher customer satisfaction
Safer working
How is logistics automation implemented in warehouses?
In large warehouses, Autonomous Mobile Robots, or AMRs for short, can be used to automate a significant chunk of the logistics process already. These are robots that work side by side with people. AMRs reduce time-consuming and unnecessary movements of your employees.
The biggest benefit of automation is the labour savings it offers a company. It also significantly improves the quality and accuracy of business processes, allowing companies to work more accurately and error-free. In other words, logistics automation speeds up business processes and increases overall efficiency.
In a supply chain (purchasing, distribution, customer service), there are many processes that can be automated. DatAction advises its clients in both the conceptual and practical elaboration of such automation processes in the warehouse environment.
Benefits of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
AMRs offer the following benefits:
Higher Return on Investment
The investment in AMRs provides a higher ROI. Throughput times are greatly optimized, which also allows a distribution center to realize more deliveries per day. On top of that, personnel costs are also greatly reduced.
Safer working
Employees are safeguarded from monotonous, dangerous, and sometimes even dirty tasks. In other words, employees can work more safely in a tidy environment and their tasks also become more pleasant.
Efficient integration
AMRs are part of a total solution that combines hardware and software. The integration with the underlying WMS or ERP system is done very smoothly and efficiently, without any changes having to be made within this WMS or ERP system. On the other hand, the rollout and integration of the robot on the work floor is also very straightforward.
RAAS model
Finally, you can also opt for a RAAS model (Robots AS A Service) in order to avoid upfront cash investments. A monthly fee secures robot hardware & onboarding software, cloud services and 24/7 (technical) support.
BOLT - Mobile workstation
DatAction has developed in-house an additional logistics solution, as an intermediate solution to fully automated warehousing: the mobile workstation “BOLT.” Our BOLTs help reduce walking distances in a warehouse, increase the efficiency of logistics processes, and they provide an all-in-one solution for many users. The mobile workstation is customized so that the end user has his or her logistics tools at hand anywhere in the warehouse, e.g. a scanner, monitor, label printer, A4 printer, and so on.
