- Onboarding: Fast, intuitive training gets team members working alongside bots in just minutes.
- Safety: Intelligent robots have multiple 3D sensors and cameras to prevent collisions and prioritize warehouse safety in combination with Hands-Free, Eyes-Free™ voice technology.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Robotics?
- Labor costs continue to rise. Where clunky, labor-intensive processes discourage otherwise productive employees, robotics and automation solutions streamline processes, reduce manual errors, and attract today’s tech-savvy workforce.
- Increasing pressure on faster cycle time and throughput. If you’re like most supply chain leaders who have to get more orders out the door with less budget and fewer workers, you need a resilient, high-performing solution that elevates employee productivity, protects against manual mistakes, and delivers the fastest possible order cycle time.
- Higher variability in peak seasons and demand dips. As the world continues to balance from inflation, tariffs, and global uncertainty, a nimble combination of robotics and voice automation can provide greater efficiency to meet growing business goals without locking into rigid, inflexible systems.
What warehouse processes and workflows can be supported by robotics?
Robotics solutions by Mountain Leverage and Locus Robotics can support and improve efficiencies in most parts of a logistics operation, including but not limited to each picking, case picking, transport, putaway, replenishment, quality control, packing, and sortation.
Can I integrate robotics into an existing WMS?
Yes, robotics solutions by Mountain Leverage and Locus Robotics can integrate with an existing warehouse management system (WMS) such as Korber, Blue Yonder, Softeon, Manhattan, Zethcon, SAP, and more. Reach out to let us know your existing set-up, and we can help you assess your path to warehouse automation.
What are the benefits of robotic automation in fulfillment?
- Precision and accuracy: Human errors are virtually eliminated with the help of smart robots verifying every move by using the on-board scanner to ensure the correct product is picked.
- Increased throughput: Get orders out the door faster by taking some of the time-consuming work off of team members and shifting it to robots. Move associates to value-added tasks and eliminate unproductive walking time in the warehouse.
- Reduction in labor challenges: Today’s workforce thrives with smart technology, so give them what they need to succeed. The Locus solution can also enable gamification, so associates can measure their productivity against their peers and compete for top picker! Plus, drastically reduce the risk of warehouse injuries by letting robots handle the transport of heavy or bulky products.
- Efficient warehouse space utilization: As property and construction costs skyrocket, distribution centers need to maximize the potential of the facility space they have today. In our robotics implementation process, we analyze your existing warehouse to make the best use of your footprint.
Is my warehouse the right size for robotics?
Mountain Leverage will always recommend the best solution for your organization, regardless of size. Offerings from Locus Robotics are optimal in warehouses at least 25,000 sq ft large but can be adapted to smaller environments.
Where will warehouse robotics NOT work well?
While robots would likely boost efficiency in most operations, there are some environments where a different automation technology would be a much better fit and provide greater ROI. These include freezer, outdoor, or steep grade facilities; and/or heavy pallet movements. Other Mountain Leverage offerings, including voice technology, can often provide valuable benefits in these environments.
How much do warehouse robots cost?
Mountain Leverage and Locus Robotics offer flexible financing programs. The RaaS (Robots-as-a-Service) model allows companies to implement automation with minimal upfront investment, turning CapEx into OpEx and ensuring faster ROI. Speak with an expert today to learn more.
Automate On Your Terms
Mountain Leverage’s approach to robotics and warehouse automation doesn’t lock you into a one-size-fits-all box, nor does it limit you to mega-investments and hefty overhauls. Our Path to Automation involves layering technology steps towards your automation goals while achieving immediate improvements and savings.
