Warehousing and Logistics Solutions

Keep operations moving amid skills shortages and handle a wider range of goods than ever before

Advanced automation and information solutions continue to transform the way we approach warehousing, supply chain and logistics. From forecasting and inventory replenishment, to visibility and end-to-end traceability, today’s smart systems are designed to improve and accelerate the way companies move goods.

The efficiency and reliability of material handling systems often determine the productivity and profitability of a warehouse and fulfillment center. We can work with you to design and deliver automated warehouse and logistics solutions with the future, and today, in mind.

Traditional material handling can’t keep up

  • Many systems are not designed to handle today’s consumer demand
  • New packaging sizes and shapes create bottlenecks in sortation and inefficiencies in gapping and singulation
  • Fixed systems create limitations for expandability and reconfiguration of workflow
  • Required modifications to traditional systems can create cost and operational risk

Bring your equipment and operations to life with dynamic digital twin software

Need to manage increased volumes in your current footprint? Or understand the impact of changes to layout or workforce? Call a digital twin into action and create more efficient, effective equipment and facilities with  Emulate3D™ digital engineering software.

With a digital twin, you can:

  • Reduce risk by designing, experimenting and validating your material handling system before investing in physical assets
  • Speed time-to-market by running simulations to diagnose and remedy late-stage issues before on site commissioning
  • And transport plant personnel to a virtual world where they can train on systems without consequence, simulate line changes and gain real world insights into end-to-end workflows

Modernize Your Operation with Intelligent Conveyance and Integrated Robotics

Make order out of chaos with independent cart technology (ICT)

ICT is a new approach to linear motors, using magnets to precisely control motion with frictionless propulsion. This solution increases throughput, reduces energy use and supports multiple carrier types. In addition, it enables:

  • Flexible singulation and gapping, optimizing the distance of different sized and shaped packages for maximum efficiency
  • High-speed fulfillment to deliver flexible, high-density sortation with built-in anti-collision safeguards and smart carriers
  • Tracking and tracing of each item independently throughout the entire system for individual routing and handling
  • Irregular goods automation to accommodate highly variable products and effectively move them through a facility

Achieve faster, safer connected robots with unified control

By connecting traditionally separate machine and robot controls, or unifying them into one system, you can create robot applications that streamline warehouse and logistics processes.

With robot, safety and other mechanisms integrated into the same control system, there is easier access to robust system data, and high adaptability to different package requirements and changes in consumer demands.

Additionally, with a single system, you eliminate the need for dedicated robot controllers and programming environments. Resulting in:

  • Faster and easier programming
  • Simplified system maintenance
  • Improved worker productivity
