Future Ventures’ Post

Warehousing/logistics is the industrial robotics frontier. This is how we bring autonomy to unprecedented scales, enabling meaningful progress in all deployed robotics solutions.

This is huge. Learning from collaborations with DHL Supply Chain have already been more than a little humbling and inspiring. I’m so excited for the next steps in this partnership as we make robots more useful and usable for an even wider variety of warehouse work teams. There nothing quite like getting to do this kind of HRI field research and iterative design process with world class teams of experts in logistics operations, industrial engineering, robotics, and AI. The DHL team has been amazing to work with, enabling us to put our robots in the hands of warehouse floor associates, doing live fulfillment operations for extended periods of time, not just practicing in a lab. That's where most of the real learning happens and we've already made many design updates to our robots to better fit the workflows, needs, and pain points of these warehouse teams. I feel incredibly lucky to get to work with these folks, who clearly care deeply about supporting people with better tools for improving their work lives. Onward and upward! #bettertogether #logisticsinnovation #robotics #ai #humancentereddesign #hri #humanrobotinteraction

DHL Supply Chain deploys Locus Robotics for the first time in New Zealand 🤖 This deployment is a part of DHL’s ongoing partnership with Locus Robotics, and has been introduced in New Zealand to automate time-consuming and laborious tasks for its customer @Schneirder Electric's supply chain, further allowing its team members to focus on other tasks requiring a human touch.

INBOUND PROCESS DETERMINES EFFICIENCY OF AUTOSTORE   In warehouses, historically, the inbound process hasn't always received the attention it deserves. Traditionally, most of the focus has been on storage systems and the pick-and-pack process. However, with the rise of e-commerce and the growing need for automation and robotics, there's been a growing emphasis on advanced automated Goods-to-Person (G2P) systems.   Ironically, it's e-commerce that now requires us to place more emphasis on the inbound process to ensure the efficiency of the entire system. Vincent Weinschenk of WHEREHOWS discusses four strategies for the inbound process in the context of various Autostore projects. #autostore #ecommerce #robotics #shuttle #warehouse #warehousing #automation #asrs #storage #compact

OSM Worldwide has upgraded shipping capabilities to USPS with new regional hub sortation systems to speed fulfillment. The systems in Dallas and Pennsylvania can sort 20,000-30,000 packages per hour before sending to USPS for final delivery. This "automation mode" boosts throughput amid hiring struggles. OSM is a USPS-approved consolidator handling retailer volume before the USPS final mile. The systems and partnership with Ambi Robotics for AI parcel sorting robots aim to improve automation and efficiency. OSM is considering further expansion next year but took a measured approach compared to competitors' pandemic-driven warehouse growth. Read more on how OSM Worldwide is optimizing sorting to keep packages moving despite labor challenges. https://buff.ly/3Q2Ew6d #osmworldwide #automation #supplychain #warehouse #ambirobotics #robotics #ai #irsrecruiting

🤖 Picking and mobile robots     When it comes to order fulfilment, the two most important parts of the logistics solution are:    1️⃣ The system (mostly AGVs or AMRs) bringing the goods to be picked.    2️⃣ The picker taking the goods.    In many cases only the first part is automated, since automating the picking operation is highly dependent on the types of goods 📦. It is not the same picking a plastic bag as a textile product.     The solution in the video simultaneously combines a mobile robot that transports the goods and a robot on top of it that carries out the picking operations automatically. In this way, there is no human 👷♂️ in the loop.     🎯 Here some figures about this solution:   - 95% labor reduction   - 50% lower fulfillment costs   - 250% higher storage density     📲 The mobile robot + picker in the video has been developed by Brightpick.
