FetchCore™ is cloud-based robotics software that gives you complete control of your robots and automation by deploying and fully integrating a wide range of automated workflows into your warehouse and manufacturing operations.
In this paper we discuss which automation options including fixed automation like conveyors, G2P systems, and flexible automation, are most suitable for 3PLs.
Our Cloud Robotics Platform is the only solution that deploys safe, reliable, and versatile Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution environments within hours.
Compare the cost of manually transporting goods versus the efficiency of using autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from Zebra’s Robotics Automation. The savings will surprise you.
Major fashion manufacturer, Bespoke Manufacturing Company, transcends customer experience and triples production capacity with AMRs and fixed industrial scanning automation.
IDC evaluates 8 AMR vendors on capabilities and strategy and provides tips on why AMRs should be considered for warehouse automation.
Transport raw materials and sub-assemblies between workstations and assembly cells
In a recent study by Deloitte, over 50% of skilled manufacturing jobs (like welding, machine operations etc.) are left unfilled, so ensuring the skilled workers you have remain productive with the right materials to do their job effectively is critical. If you’ve implemented work cells in your facility, it’s likely you’re already looking at the teachings of ‘lean manufacturing’ and are working to minimize waste, decrease errors, and increase productivity. Though the work cells themselves can be highly productive, if they don’t have the right materials the production process will stop. Most work cell replenishment workflows rely on employees moving carts of materials throughout your facility to and from your work cells, which is an unproductive (and sometimes unsafe) use of time that can also result in production delays if materials are not delivered on time.
Fully connected AMRs transform isolated manufacturing cells into fully automated, integrated production lines enabling you to produce higher quality products at reduced costs. AMRs can automatically bring carts of goods to your work cells and between your work cells automatically through pull-based integration with manufacturing systems. Your workers do not have to leave their stations and you don’t need to change your facility.
AMRs can also be tasked from network-connected buttons, handheld scanners, sensors, and mobile devices and a robot will bring a cart or flow rack of materials directly to the work cell from raw materials storage or move subassemblies between work cells. If there is an empty cart, the robot can also return that to the restocking stations for future replenishment requests.
Autonomously pick up and drop off carts for increased productivity and utilization.
Enhance productivity by autonomously transporting totes, bins, and packages on-demand.
Automate pallet movements with a built-in lift module and available Pallet Transfer Station.
