AUTOMATION IS THE FUTURE OF WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS
Quick Deployment & Payback New AMR and other robotic warehouse automation solutions can be deployed in as little as 3-4 months. Payback is gauranteed in under 2 years, but often under 1 year.
ROI < 1-2 YRS.
PRODUCTIVITY
Majority Improvement in KPIs Over 70% of order fulfillment operations and warehouses that deploy warehouse automation have noted double-digit improvement in KPIs like cycle time, productivity, and inventory efficiency.
INJURY
Safe, Accurate, & Fast Robotic solutions such as palletizers work faster and more safely and accurately than human workers, significantly increasing overall productivity. Injury rates can decrease by over 90%.
