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

MODEX Takeaway #2: The start-up pavilion was very telling of gaps that need/needed to be filled. While robots were the big focus and the can't miss attention grabbers, the start-up pavilion at MODEX only had one company that I saw that was dealing with robots (Reshape Automation). The rest were focused on software solutions for what I like to call the "in-between" processes like labor management, returns processing and supply procurement for example. As large processes in the warehouse, like picking, have already been tackled, these smaller processes will become increasingly important to optimize and reduce the amount of redundancy needed. Keep an eye on these solutions, many of which have been on The New Warehouse already (Arvist, Two Boxes, Paccurate, Takt, Response) Did you get a chance to check out the start-ups at MODEX?

Is manufacturing your core business? Are you a tech business or a manufacturer?  If the former, then manufacturing is not your core business activity.  So, why would you want to do it?  It’s well known that businesses which focus their time and investment on their core competencies are more profitable than those which become distracted by areas outside it.  Instead, why not invest your time and money in your technology?  After all, this is where the opportunity for exponential financial success lies.  Back in 2012, Ocado took this advice to heart when they appointed us as their manufacturing partner.  With time free to focus their energy on developing their tech, they were able to transform from a UK online grocer to a £13 billion global tech giant in a matter of a few years.     https://lnkd.in/efbyT_ib #automation #robotics #tharsus #logistics #warehouse #industrials

Robots are transforming warehouse operations! 📦   At Ocado Technology, hundreds of robots rapidly fetch items for online orders with impressive speed and precision. Suction-cup-equipped robotic arms handle everything from rice to crumpets! Asda and Walmart are also using robots to streamline product collection and distribution, aiding staff in packing deliveries.   ℹ️ Fascinating facts about warehouse robots: → Ocado's robots deliver items to arms that use suction cups to pick them up. → AI interprets camera data to identify and handle objects smoothly. → Luton warehouse’s 44 robotic arms manage 15% of products, aiming for 70% in 2-3 years.   Are fully automated, human-free 24/7 warehouses on the horizon? Feel free to engage in the comments.   Thanks to Lukas M. Ziegler Ziegler for sharing.   #robotics #automation 

A picking solution that is compatible with AMRs and different sortation system? Check out the new RightPick4👇🏽 RightHand Robotics, Inc showcased the new Rightpick 4, their solution to automate picking tasks at warehouses. What are the improvements from the previous RightPick 3 system?: ✅Can handle items up to 25% larger and 50% heavier, from 2 kg to 3 kg🏋🏽. ✅ A suction cup swapper allowing the use of the optimal suction cup and expanding the pickable range. ✅Reduced amount of manual interventions by up to 80%through software features, like more advanced picking strategies, multi-item pick detection, and improved segmentation. Picking tasks are high up on the list for automated tasks, but as #ecommerce grows picking solutions can set themselves apart by being handling a larger variety of SKUs and odd sized items. [📽️:RightHand Robotics, Inc] Big shoutout to Paul Eyre, Brendon Bielat, Yaro Tenzer and the rest of the team at RightHand Robotics, Inc on the new updates! Looking forward to see what it can do!

Naturally, #Superman is not going to handle "product picking" in your #warehouse or #distribution center. But we can help your employees walk up to 3X faster. And why does that matter? So if you lead (or work for) a #3PL and are headed to #modex2024, we need to sync-up. Because having employees who can safely walk up to 3X faster means they can be over 250% more productive by slashing their on-the-job "Travel Times." We've learned that some distribution center / warehouse workers can walk up to 30,000 steps per day. But when they wear #Moonwalkers, their step counts can be slashed to as low as 13,000 steps. And it doesn't take the Man of Steel to know that fewer steps/day (while doing the same amount of work), has got to be easier on the body. To learn more, please click here to watch our short video about using Moonwalkers robotic shoes in #warehouses, distribution centers, and 3PL facilities: https://lnkd.in/gcVXB8ZY. And if you want to experience Moonwalkers for yourself, click here to schedule an appointment to meet with us at #MODEX24:  https://lnkd.in/gRyZ2K2E. (We'll be in Booth #A9422.) Thanks. We look forward to seeing you at MODEX 2024. Team Shift Robotics P.S. If you've been "tagged" on this LI Post, it's because we believe you are interested in what we're doing at #ShiftRobitics.
