Automated solutions are playing an increasingly prominent role in our daily lives, continually advancing to address various challenges.

Many companies rely on them for several reasons. Here are a few ones:

• Labour shortage and safety improvement: Businesses often face difficulties in hiring sufficient skilled labor. This is where automation steps in to handle repetitive tasks that are physically demanding or hazardous, thereby reducing reliance on human labor in potentially risky environments. This can help workers focus on more complex and strategic aspects of their jobs.

• Lower distribution costs: Automating processes such as packaging, sorting, and conveying can reduce distribution costs. By simplifying these operations, companies can optimize their supply chains, minimize errors, and ensure faster delivery times.

• Achieve higher productivity: Automation accelerates production cycles and enhances operational efficiency. Companies can achieve more consistent output levels with fewer errors, resulting in improved service quality and responsiveness, ultimately enhancing customer retention and loyalty.

There are several warehouse automation solutions to choose from. Avalon CSC specializes in various types of warehouse robotics, aiming to achieve optimal efficiency.

Having said this, let’s consider some options available:

• Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs): These robots can understand and move through their environment without direct oversight by an operator. They have the flexibility to create their own routes between locations within a warehouse or facility.

• Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): These self-guided vehicles handle materials or load carriers and travel autonomously without an onboard driver. They are also capable of inbound and outbound handling for replenishment or picking.
• Destuff-It: Is a machine designed to aid workers in unloading floor-stacked product trailers and containers. Due to its optimal placement near the box wall, operators can handle tasks with increased capacity while experiencing less fatigue and muscle strain.

• VIMAAN Cycle counting:  Is a solution that includes full, high resolution, image “reconstruction” of the face of the shelf, including barcode reading, label text reading, item dimensioning, empty bin reporting, damage detection, discrepancy reporting against the WMS, and location and inventory search features. 

• WMS/TMS Software: Implementation of software can help automate tasks such as order picking, putaway, inventory management, inventory control, optimizing delivery schedules, loading, and shipment routing.

• Vertical Lift Module (VLM): Automated storage and retrieval system where trays are automatically retrieved and delivered to a window for picking. It improves storage density, pick accuracy, and picking efficiency.
