Logistics Automation
Logistics automation streamlines business processes and increases overall efficiency.
Logistics automation refers to the use of control systems, machines, hardware, or software to improve the efficiency of certain logistics processes. This typically involves automation processes in distribution centers or warehouses.
Labor savings achieved by working more quickly
Fewer errors lead to lower costs and higher customer satisfaction
Working Safely
How is logistics automation implemented in warehouses?
In large warehouses, Autonomous Mobile Robots—or AMRs for short—can be used to automate a significant portion of the logistics process. These are robots that work side by side with people. AMRs reduce time-consuming and unnecessary trips by your employees.
The biggest advantage of automation is the labor savings it will provide a company. In addition, the quality and accuracy of business processes are significantly improved, enabling companies to operate with greater precision and without errors. In other words, logistics automation speeds up business processes and increases overall efficiency.
In a supply chain (procurement, distribution, customer service), there are many processes that can be automated. DatAction advises its clients on both the conceptual and practical implementation of such automation processes in the warehouse environment.
Logistics automation reduces costs
In today’s job market, it is becoming increasingly challenging to find qualified logistics staff. Logistics automation offers the solution to this labor shortage. Robots, AGVs, and other advanced automation systems take over the physical work, which not only reduces the workload on staff but also leads to more efficient operations. Discover how logistics automation makes work more interesting and creates new tasks and responsibilities for employees, making it a valuable tool for retaining and engaging scarce logistics professionals.
Benefits of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
AMRs offer the following benefits:
Higher Return on Investment
Investing in AMRs results in a higher ROI. This significantly optimizes turnaround times, which also allows a distribution center to make more deliveries per day. In addition, labor costs are significantly reduced.
Safer Working Conditions
Employees are spared from monotonous, dangerous, and sometimes even dirty tasks. In other words, employees can work more safely in a clean environment, and their job responsibilities become more enjoyable as well.
Efficient Integration
AMRs are part of a comprehensive solution that combines hardware and software. Integration with the underlying WMS or ERP system is very smooth and efficient, without requiring any changes to that WMS or ERP system. Furthermore, the deployment and integration of the robot on the shop floor is also very straightforward.
RAAS Model
Finally, you can also opt for a RAAS (Robots as a Service) model to avoid upfront cash investments. For a monthly fee, you gain access to robot hardware and onboarding software, cloud services, and 24/7 (technical) support.
Bolt - Mobile Workspace
DatAction has developed an additional in-house logistics solution as an interim solution for fully automated warehousing: the mobile workstation “BOLT.” Our BOLTs help reduce walking distances in a warehouse, increase the efficiency of logistics processes, and offer an all-in-one solution for many users. The mobile workstation is customized so that the end user has his or her logistics tools—such as a scanner, monitor, label printer, or A4 printer—at hand anywhere in the warehouse.
