INSPIRATION
Warehouse automation increases efficiency, speed, and productivity by reducing human interventions. Pick and place technologies such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs), robotic picking, automated storage and retrieval (ASRS), and put-wall picking reduce error rates and increases warehouse
productivity. Warehouses require a combination of efficient automation technologies in order to control their operational logistics costs.
AGV integration in the warehouse helps in the automation of moving goods. AGVs substitute human labor for addressing challenges regarding processing high-volume goods at scale. Indian startup Addverb Technologies works on Dynamo, an AGV for the transport of diverse loads in the warehouse. Addverb offers a custom Dynamo AGV with different guidance systems including laser, inertial, wire, and magnetic
tape. Also, Dynamo requires minimum to no human interference in the execution of picking operations in the warehouse.
ASRS assists in the management of product and material storage in automated warehouses and improves floor space utilization and does not require manual labor to operate, thus reducing the overall operational cost and increasing safety.
French startup Exotec builds the automated robot Skypod to optimize eCommerce warehouses. The Skypod system optimizes storage space by employing vertical storage methods in order to increase the height in warehouses by up to 10 meters.
