Warehouse automation technology
Warehouse automation technology continues to get smarter! Just as automation technologies evolve, so does the terminology of it.
Goods-to-Person (GTP)
Bins or items automatically transported to the picker at the picking station.
This system reduces walking time and picking errors. You can easily integrate other picking solutions, hardware, and software with the Goods-To-Person system. Operations using GTP enjoy better worker efficiency, picking accuracy, throughput, and ROI.
Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Automatic guided vehicles are portable robots that travel along the floors of your warehouse without the need for human control. Through the interaction of sensors and software they are able to travel through precisely controlled paths and ensure the safe movement of loads.
Automation Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Through a variation of computer-controlled systems Caja Robotics enables clients to automatically place and retrieve items in your warehouse with accuracy and speed.
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) enable E-Commerce companies to compete with high volume and high-labour requirements. Depending on customer’s initial situation AMRs can either be used as a standalone solution or in combination with manual warehouse workers.
