Thanks to rapid technological advances, especially in artificial intelligence, robots today are incredibly useful in logistics processes. Robots in logistics not only raise efficiency and quality, but employee satisfaction to boot.
Pick-it-Easy robots in logistics for foods, medicines and high grade cosmetics
The picking robot Pick-it-Easy Robot is being used worldwide in various sectors, for example, to pick medicines, foods and high-grade cosmetics, in tools and spare parts retail as well as in the fashion and retail industries. The Pick-it-Easy Robot can master a broad range of items thanks to its artificial intelligence and can almost see things and pick them up like a human. Even items wrapped in film, glass bottles or floppy items such as socks can be reliably and gently handled. The intelligent and versatile Pick-it-Easy Robot works around the clock when needed, increasing performance and providing considerable relief to its human colleagues, for example, by working the night shift.
Extra flexibility for the OSR Shuttle Evo+
The combination of intelligent, autonomous mobile robots and the central storage system OSR Shuttle Evo gives rise to the OSR Shuttle Evo+ solution. The plus stands for the extra flexibility that this solution offers. With incredible flexibility, the autonomous, freely moving Open Shuttles link the different areas and processes in the warehouse with the central storage system. The Open Shuttles can work in goods-in, supply various decentralized and manual work stations, handle express or special transport jobs in dispatch, or supply materials to production machines; moreover, they also have applications in micro fulfillment.
Intelligent software tools keep the system at its best
KiSoft Analytics is a valuable tool in the KNAPP software portfolio for keeping systems running reliably and in top form. The software application analyzes relevant system data and displays it in a dashboard with KPIs, facilitating the decision-making process whether for the short, medium or long term.
Another clever assistant is the redPILOT Operational Excellence Suite. This software keeps the logistics system running optimally at all times. With redPILOT on the team, shifts are easily and quickly planned, with the right person with the right qualifications always being on the right job. The CMMS tool (Computerized Maintenance Management System) by redPILOT uses system data to schedule maintenance tasks in a structured way. This saves costs, prevents unexpected failures and optimizes the efficiency and availability of the system. Additionally, reports are available at all times to provide a system overview.
