Maximize Productivity, Consistently Meet SLAs, and avoid “Vendor Lock-in”

Challenges include:

• 

  Costs and difficulty in integration of robots and software systems such as a WMS.

• 

  Lack of interoperability across different types and makers of warehouse robots.

• 

  Achieving high levels of productivity and utilization with robot deployments.

Key questions include:

• 

  How do we determine the number of AMRs and operators that are needed from initial design through today’s reality?

• 

  What software do we use to manage and execute the robot fleet?

• 

  How long will the integration take?

• 

  How do we avoid AMR “vendor lock-in?”

Delivered as a cloud-based software platform that augments existing systems such as WMS, to our Robotics Fulfillment and Orchestration Platform provides the broadest set of capabilities in the industry, including the following:

• 

  Simulation tool that enables better decision-making at multiple time horizons. That includes the strategic/design phase (e.g., how many robots do we need? how much will cost be reduced?), short term/tactical planning  such as for peak season, and real-time, “digital twin” decision support.

• 

  Fast integration of robots with WMS or other robots/automation using a built-in AI mapping feature, not custom code.

• 

  Orchestration of fulfillment workflows that maximize productivity and robot utilization while ensuring that SLAs such as parcel carrier-cut-off times are met.

• 

  Managing robots of different types or from different vendors as well as other automation with integrated workflows and as if a single fleet.

• 

  Advanced synchronization of human and robotic resources.

• 

  Use of AI/ML for optimization for real-time optimization.

The platform also provides flexible robot interoperability over the long term, keeping you free from the “vendor lock-in” that can limit your ability to adopt the robot hardware that best meets your needs over time.

Roboteon’s platform enables retailers and ecommerce companies to get robot projects done faster and better, deploy advanced fulfillment capabilities, including orchestration, that drive productivity, consistently meet customer commitments, and maximize asset utilization and throughput.
