Warehouses and distribution centers are always changing to meet new demands such as higher volume, new product introductions, added processes such as repack and private labeling centers or managing returns.
All of these changing operations find they need the space to manage these challenges or be faced with moving or expanding the operation. Freespace Robotics Order Fulfillment Systems are made to improve density while reorganizing materials stored to meet changing circumstances.
For example, a wholesaler's facility I visited a couple of years ago had two 40' wide bays, 40' deep, each with returns piled up willy-nilly taking us valuable dock space. Had they used Freespace Robotics technology in that area, that material could have been scanned into trays, sorted by category, stored and reorganized for shipment or resale in a quarter of that space, opening up opportunities for added staging and truck doors.
With internal sortation and pre-sequenced staging available, multiple equipment systems taking up floor needed otherwise can be eliminated. If regaining valuable floor space because your manual or even outdated automation is taking up too much real estate, check us out. Let us see if we can keep you in your current facility while expanding your operations and improving your efficiency.
