Logistics and warehousing industry automation robots

Thanks to rising labour costs and soaring order volumes, logistics operations worldwide are being pushed to the limit. With fewer manual workers in the industry than ever before, the increased demand is being felt at all levels – across shippers, carriers, distributors, warehouses, and fulfillment centres alike. Robots for logistics can provide adaptable warehouse automation solutions to keep pace (from meeting demanding turnaround times and fulfilling complex orders to complying with ever-changing compliance requirements).

Optima Robotics is working to meet these pressures through the provision of logistic robots specially designed for logistics and warehousing processes. Our cobots have been deployed in logistics and warehousing applications around the world, helping to automate those repetitive and mundane tasks to ensure that they’re completed as fast and accurately as possible.

Cobots are streamlining logistics automation operations of all shapes and sizes. Discover how they can do the same for your business today.

Overview
Advantages
Applications

An industry that faces unrivaled pressure to move products on time – if not faster – having a team of reliable workers and automation solutions for logistics and warehousing is essential. From picking and packing to palletising and sorting, warehouse robots can help reduce labour costs, improve accuracy, and handle fluctuating demand with ease – even during those busy, seasonal spikes.

Designed to work alongside human workers, robots for logistics can be moved between different warehouse zones and deployed to meet a range of applications. They could unload shipments and prepare deliveries, for example, while workers focus on those more strategic roles that require human decision-making. This lessens the physical strain placed on your workforce, leading to new levels of efficiency.

Partnering withlogistics and warehouse automation companies offers many advantages, including:

Ability to complement human labour
Improves worker safety by taking over repetitive and potentially dangerous tasks
Increases the productivity and efficiency of warehousing processes
Ability to be moved between warehouse zones with ease
Speeds up logistics and warehousing processes
Increases output while meeting compliance requirements
Quickly and easily adapt to new tasks
Can be integrated with vision systems to automate critical inspections

Cobots have many important applications throughout the logistics industry, including pick and place, quality control, and robot mobility. Some of the most common areas that they’re deployed in include:

Manufacturing Logistics
The use of warehouse robots can streamline the flow of materials to and from production lines, from organising raw materials and delivering components to relevant production cells to sorting and palletising finished products for shipping.

Retail Distribution
Distribution centres are filled with repetitive tasks, from loading and unloading shipments to case picking and carton handling. With logistics automation, your business will be able to meet tight delivery schedules and increases in demand.

3PL Warehousing
Logistic robots can provide the speed and agility needed by 3rd party logistics (3PL) operations to adapt to varying customer requirements and seasonal demands. This is particularly ideal for multi-client warehouse operations.
