If your warehouse or distribution center still relies mainly on manual processes, you may already be falling behind the competition. While manual workflows have their place, they are increasingly challenged by labor shortages, higher error rates, and safety concerns. Robotics, on the other hand, brings greater efficiency, accuracy, scalability, and safety — often paying for itself over time. 👉 One area where this transformation is especially visible: mixed-case palletizing. Building pallets with multiple SKUs is complex and time-consuming when done by hand. Robotic palletizing solutions simplify this process, increase throughput, and reduce risks for workers. At Daifuku Intralogistics America, we’re helping companies embrace robotics to optimize operations and unlock sustainable growth. 🔗 Read the full article to learn how robotics is reshaping palletizing and how Daifuku can help you take the next step: https://bit.ly/46xL9nL #Intralogistics #WarehouseAutomation #Robotics #DaifukuTeam

#170 Knowledge Sharing 💰 What is HMLV❓ 1. HMLV (High-Mix, Low-Volume) refers to a type of manufacturing setup where a company produces a wide variety of products (high mix), but each product is produced in small quantities (low volume). 2. High-Mix: Many different product types or SKUs. Low-Volume: Each type is produced in limited quantities. 3. Characteristics of HMLV manufacturing: - Flexible production systems: Machines and workers must handle different products without major reconfiguration. - Complex scheduling: Orders vary a lot, so planning is tricky. - Higher per-unit cost: Due to smaller batch sizes and frequent changeovers. - Customization: Often tailored to customer-specific requirements. 4. Example: - A company that makes custom electronics with different configurations for each client. - A bakery making dozens of different cake flavors but only a few of each per day. 5. In contrast: - LMLV (Low-Mix, Low-Volume): Few types, small quantities. - HMLV vs. HMLV (High-Mix, High-Volume): Many types, but in large quantities per type. Feel free to check out the post below.

🤖 This month we're technically talking orientation! In high-speed production environments precision is everything, especially when it comes to how products are presented at the end of the line. 🎯 Correct pack orientation ensures that products are placed exactly as specified by supermarkets, enhancing shelf appeal and meeting strict retail standards. ↗️ With advanced robotics, even if a product enters the infeed misaligned, the system can automatically adjust orientation—no manual intervention needed. 💡 Add vision systems into the mix, and you get real-time feedback that boosts accuracy, reduces errors, and ensures consistency. ✅ The benefits? Better product presentation Reduced risk of damage Lower rework and waste Increased efficiency and cost savings Smart automation isn’t just about speed. It’s about getting it right, every time.

📦𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻🤖 Recently something caught my eye, a new way to think about storage and retrieval - and for good reason. Instead of developing the usual floor-based AMRs or ASRS, the "Octopus" (𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘥) system from US based Logic Robotics has flipped the concept entirely. Literally🐙 An overhead box picking robot that combines high-density storage with flexible reach and fast item handling, all without eating up valuable floor space. It’s clever, it’s modular, and it’s a sign that warehouse automation is maturing beyond just copying what works, toward rethinking how it could work better (𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘐 𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 Cimcorp Group 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮). I have not yet seen or heard of an active installation and the page suggests the Octopus may still be a concept, but it is an exciting one nontheless. Reminiscient of the story of Ford motors 🐎, whilst the consumer is seeking faster robots as the next wave of innovation, it will be smarter system design that creates the next market leaders 🚗 For anyone who wants to dig around on their page, here is the link: https://lnkd.in/dMwsEtbt #JBAndrews #JBAutomation #WarehouseAutomation #Intralogistics #Robotics #Innovation #SupplyChain

Walk into any modern warehouse today and you’ll see robots everywhere - each doing its job perfectly but rarely working as one. But true efficiency isn’t about having more robots. It’s about how they work together when things change. A forklift AGV suddenly stops - its path blocked by a spill on the floor. Traffic pauses, tasks pile up. A truly interoperable fleet manager doesn’t just flag an error - it automatically dispatches a cleaning robot, reroutes nearby units, and keeps operations flowing. Later that day, order volume surges - production doubles overnight. Five additional AMRs from another vendor need to be deployed on site. A truly interoperable fleet manager doesn’t wait for manual integration - it absorbs the new units instantly, synchronises task logic, and balances routes in real time. That’s where most automation systems still fall short. And we call it “The Silent Cost of Automation”. Too often, operations look like this: • Fleets that can’t adjust when workflows shift. • Integrations that fail to survive software or firmware updates. • New robots that take months to onboard, or never do. • Systems that can’t make real-time decisions across brands. When production volume doubles overnight, you shouldn’t need to rebuild your control logic. When you bring in new AMRs from another vendor, you shouldn’t need months of recommissioning before they can do the job. That’s what interoperability in robotics is about - not just connecting devices, but enabling them to adapt, coordinate, and self-optimize as one system. Because true flexibility isn’t defined by the number of robots you have, but by how intelligently they respond to change. At PDQ Robotics, this belief shapes everything we build.

AUTOMATION & ROI REALITY Everyone Talks About Warehouse Automation. Here's What Actually Matters. Walk into any warehouse conference and you'll hear about: - Robots picking items - Automated conveyor systems - AI-powered inventory forecasting - Drone inventory scanning Cool stuff. Expensive stuff. Often not applicable stuff. Here's what I actually see working: High ROI Automation (Most warehouses should do this first): 1. **Barcode scanning** ($5K-$20K) = 20-30% efficiency gain 2. **WMS integration** ($10K-$40K) = 15-25% accuracy improvement 3. **Automated reordering** ($3K-$8K) = 30-40% inventory reduction 4. **Pick-to-light systems** ($15K-$40K) = 35-50% pick accuracy Low ROI Automation (Tempting but not yet): 1. **Robotic picking** ($500K+) = Good for 5000+ picks/day (most don't have this volume) 2. **Automated guided vehicles** ($400K+) = For facilities >100K sq ft with consistent flow 3. **Full warehouse robotics** ($1M+) = Only for mega-distribution centers The truth: Most warehouses are at 50-70% efficiency with current processes and staff. Why spend $500K on robots to improve 30% more when you can spend $25K on systems and get 40% improvement? Smart sequencing: Phase 1 (Year 1):** Optimize processes + implement WMS ($20K-$50K investment, 30-40% improvement) Phase 2 (Year 2-3):** Add barcode/pick-to-light IF you've hit the ceiling ($20K-$40K, 15-25% more improvement) Phase 3 (Year 4+):** Consider robotics ONLY if you've maxed out other options Most companies stop at Phase 1-2 and are running at 90%+ efficiency.** They never need robots. My take: Don't be seduced by shiny technology. Do fundamentals first. Technology should amplify good processes, not rescue bad ones.

🗼Reaching new heights in Very Narrow Aisles with mobile robotics!  Narrow, high aisles are tough for warehouse logistics. This 3PL case shows how a 3-Way AGF by Russell Robotics, powered by Kollmorgen – Autonomous Mobile Solutions technology, enables a fully automated material flow. How the flow works: ➡️The lifter brings products up; a shuttle or conveyor hands them off to the 3-Way AGF.  ➡️The AGF loads the goods and navigates the VNA safely.  ➡️At the storage location, the shuttle is already staged, pre-positioned by the AGF.  ➡️The AGF transfers the load onto the shuttle, creating a seamless handover across systems. ✅Higher storage density, stable handling at height, consistent throughput in tight spaces, and safer operations.  Great example of efficiency in an automation project! Talking about automation…  🧠 At our consultancy Moving Robots, we optimize your logistics flows with mobile robotics through the development of a customized automation project.  Thanks to our extensive experience, market knowledge and vendor agnostic approach, we reduce the time required, risk and uncertainty. ✅ Don't risk your budget, let´s chat. #vna #robotics #automation #logistics #warehouse #technology
