![]() ![]() Locus Robotics has made integration into complex operations like those at DHL facilities a high priority. ![]() Employees rave about how easy it is to work alongside the DHL robots and have been quick to embrace the expanded capabilities. Our staff not only benefits from an immediate productivity boost – they also get along famously with their robotic colleagues. The robots are also equipped with obstacle-detection sensors to prevent occupational hazards.ĭHL robots are fast, flexible, and scalable With AMRs rolling up and down the aisles, our people spend less time walking long distances and pushing heavy carts and instead focus on value-adding work that calls for human intelligence. Robotic picking helps us meet our commitment to create a safe and purpose-driven workplace and provide a great place to work. It’s a big win for our warehouse teams, too. An efficiency increase of this magnitude is a big win for e-commerce businesses and order fulfillment services. The pandemic has brought an e-commerce boom in its wake, and customer demands for product availability and delivery time are high. Robotic picking can increase the number of items picked per hour by up to 180%. They help supply chain companies like DHL optimize operations, create healthy working environments, and gain a competitive advantage.Īssisted picking robots like Locus AMRs represent a breakthrough in efficiency. Solutions that boost picking efficiency and reduce the physical toll on employees are essential. Today’s e-fulfillment centers cover enormous spaces and store millions of items. In e-commerce and supply chain logistics, the repetitive process of order picking is not easy to automate. The robotic picking pros – what Locus does best It’s the biggest AMR deal the industry has ever seen. ![]() The DHL robots made by Locus have been such a runaway success that we’re scaling up our partnership to deploy 5,000 of their most sophisticated robots, the Locus Origin, across our global network of warehouses and distribution centers by the end of 2023. These high-performing robotic picking assistants increase efficiency and free up our human resources to utilize their intelligence for more value-adding work.ĭHL Supply Chain has been partnering with Locus Robotics on robotic picking solutions since 2017. Robotic picking with what are known as “autonomous mobile robots” or AMRs is automating and optimizing the physical movement of goods. It’s a time-consuming and physically strenuous task. ![]() While shoppers lounge comfortably on their couches, “order pickers” push heavy carts up and down the warehouse aisles, picking purchases off shelves and ferrying them to the packing station, where they are prepped for shipment. This new solution is intended for all industrial sectors wishing to acquire more flexibility in the internal transport of their pallets (agribusiness, bottling, etc.).ī2A Technology will preview this new AGV on BA Systèmes’ booth at ALL4Pack, stand 6F117, from November 26 to 29, 2018 in Paris Nord Villepinte.Shopping online may be an entirely digital experience, but the process of fulfilling that order is often still a very analog affair. Thanks to its optimal energy management with Opportunity Charging (system that adapts battery charging cycles according to the use and engagement rate of the AGVs), LoadStar is provided with a lithium-ion battery system. Once the customers’ pallets have been assembled, the AGVs take them to the various strapping, wrapping, labelling and shipping preparation operations, based on Alstef technologies. Several order picking islands (manual or robotic layer deposit or preparation per carton) can be reached by these new mobile robots, from several sources of loads’ input/output such as storage by stacker crane, receiving and production outputs. Robust, it picks -up and drops-off, via its lifting platform, pallet weighing up to 1400 Kg on the short side or long side depending on the application, with a high level of performance (both in speed and acceleration). Very flexible, the system can handle important flow rates and evolve with the needs, according to the company.Ĭompact and space-saving AGV, LoadStar is designed to transport unitary pallet. AGV Order Picker Launched by B2A Technology 6th November 2018ī2A Technology, formed earlier this year by the merger of Alstef and BA Systèmes, has launched an order picking solution based on AGV technology.ī2A Technology’s solution is based on fast and compact AGV robots replacing traditional conveyors, thus saving up to 20% of floor space and helping to optimize order picking. ![]()
