Autonomous mobile robots can be used to automate tasks such as transporting semi-finished products between production lines, supplying production lines from storage, moving portable finished products to storage, picking products within the warehouse, and transferring collected products to shipping. For these robots to operate effectively in the warehouse, they need to be integrated with various software systems.
Areas of Use
Autonomous mobile robots can be integrated with the warehouse management system to automate processes such as inventory tracking, order management, and inventory control. This integration allows robots to better plan their tasks within the warehouse.
Large-scale warehouse operations can be integrated with logistics and supply chain management software. This integration enables the management of material movements within a broader logistics network.
ERP software integrates all processes across the enterprise. Autonomous mobile robots can be integrated with ERP systems for material handling tasks within the warehouse, allowing all business processes to be managed as a unified whole.
Order management systems receive, process, and track customer orders. Autonomous mobile robots can be integrated with these systems to automate order preparation and delivery processes.
The coordination between production and in-warehouse material handling activities can be managed through manufacturing management software. This integration can align production processes with in-warehouse material movements.
Autonomous mobile robots can be integrated with RFID and barcode systems to identify and track materials within the warehouse. This allows robots to accurately recognize and monitor materials.
Mobile applications and control systems can be used for remote monitoring, control, and task assignment of autonomous mobile robots.
