Third Wave Automation’s Post

One thing I've learned is when people hear "autonomous/automated forklift", their minds go 100 different ways on what that means and what that forklift actually does. That's why explaining the differences in our Shared Autonomy Platform are crucial. We're employing a hybrid approach between vehicle and operator, where there is a constant continuous learning loop happening. #autonomousforklifts #sharedautonomy

What's better than a autonomous reach truck? How about one that also offers remote control from Third Wave Automation? Why is that better? - Let me explain: 1) Safety - No need to ever send an operator on the floor to recover the vehicle from faults; Especially for vertical applications. Storing products in racking likely will result in plastic wrap tails hanging down in front of fork pockets. Dedicated AGV solutions require an operator to stand next to the vehicle with a joystick tethered to the vehicle. So the operator has 2000+lbs 30+ft in the air above their head and they are positioning forks with a joystick!$!% Keep the operator out of harms way completely with Third Wave. 2) Reinforcement learning - continuous improvement is built in; no need for Third Wave to send an engineer to site to adapt to changes in your facility over time; We can simply learn from the remote operator new autonomous tasks. 3) Higher Efficiency - When technology meets operational challenges today, our competition simply faults. For example, the label is not placed in the field of view for a scanner. Others will require a person to walk out to the dock and figure out why the automation solution has stopped with very little diagnostic detail available...This takes time away from moving product. Third Wave will flag an "assist" from the remote operator who can quickly view the error in plain english and recover by simply raising the forks until the camera sees the label. Third Wave keeps your warehouses moving faster! #mobilerobotics #forklifts #warehouseautomation #forkliftsafety #logistics

How long of a journey will there be to dark warehouses? Humans are instinctual, understand situational context, and can make quick decisions in ways that robots simply can’t match cost effectively and at scale. Phantom Auto remote operators are proving that they can solve problems robots can’t, every day, at facilities across the country, moving pallets around warehouses from up to thousands of miles away. Remote operators can deliver value from day one — without requiring a lengthy and expensive deployment cycle or any changes to the warehouse environment. https://phantm.co/3Psmrh7 #remoteoperation #logisitics #innovation #supplychainsolutions

Automated truck loading of single cases. How different can the boxes be is the real question. #automation #distributioncenter #truckloading

Vaux Smart Autonomy™ is here! Let us know how we can transform your business.

Last year, we launched the Vaux Freight Movement System™, an innovative suite of hardware and software that transforms how freight is loaded, unloaded, and transferred — taking an hours-long process down to mere minutes.    Today, we're announcing the next step in our first-of-its-kind Vaux suite: Vaux Smart Autonomy™. The offering combines autonomous mobile robot (AMR) forklifts and reach trucks, intelligent software, and remote teleoperation capabilities to autonomously handle materials movement within warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities — all while keeping humans in the loop. Vaux Smart Autonomy is flexible, out of the box, integrates easily with existing facilities and workflows, and can handle variability – making autonomy possible even for businesses with complex operations that traditionally haven’t been able to adopt autonomous technology.    While the Vaux Freight Movement System and Vaux Smart Autonomy can operate independently of each other, together, they offer seamless synergies that transform material handling workflows and make supply chains even more efficient.   Watch the video below to learn more, then visit https://lnkd.in/dD2bqpP8. Read complete details about today's press release here: https://lnkd.in/dgSB3cbx

ArcBest continues to innovate with game-changing technology: first the Vaux Freight Movement System, and today, Vaux Smart Autonomy. Vaux Smart Autonomy is the only autonomous material handling technology that is flexible out of the box to handle variability in facilities, processes and product characteristics. It's not just for the freight industry — there are very real applications for use across automotive, retail, manufacturing and more. If you haven't seen or heard about Vaux, this video is a must-watch!

Next-level manufacturing with automated intralogistics: advantages of interlinked automation from warehouse to production with AMRs Automation in production environments has undergone a remarkable development in recent years. In particular, integrating automated intralogistics systems such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), for example GEBHARDT KARIS®, has ushered in a new manufacturing era. This opens the possibility of entirely rethinking material flows with immense flexibility. In this blog post, GEBHARDT will explore the advantages of automation in infeed and outfeed areas and production environments. GEBHARDT will examine how it enables continuous production supply, transparency, traceability, KPI generation, adaptability, and efficiency gains.
