Three Ways Today’s New Robotic Solutions Improve Logistics Applications

 

If you are feeling like your employees are bogged down with repetitive tasks that are preventing them from using their creativity, you’re not alone in the logistics world. Many warehouses and distribution centres continue to rely heavily on manual activities like tote moving and order picking, which drain workers and sometimes lead to stress injuries. Employees can make a greater contribution when they’re freed up from dull, unfulfilling tasks. Fortunately, today’s robotic solutions have advanced to the point where variations in product shapes and sizes are no longer an issue. Omron looks at the potential contributions of collaborative robots (“cobots”) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

White Paper: Robots – There’s One for Every Job – How to Choose the Right One

In the popular imagination, robots are large, dumb machines for doing dull, muscular, repetitive tasks with precision and accuracy. That’s only part of today’s robotics world. Robots now come in many sizes and configurations, with two to seven axes.
