As warehousing and distribution center operations grow worldwide, companies continue to seek new ways to meet consumer demand while maintaining efficiency levels and reducing labor costs. Many of these companies have turned to robots, automated systems and specialized software to improve production in their facilities and keep pace with the competition. Robotic warehouse solutions deliver significant value to businesses working toward this goal, handling everything from sorting and picking orders to palletization and transporting materials.
Siggins offers a comprehensive line of robotics systems to maximize all facets of your distribution operation, helping to improve production speeds, increase worker safety, and eliminate picking and packing errors. Our engineering team has decades of combined experience designing custom robotic solutions for companies of all sizes. We’ll help you implement the ideal solution for your needs and perform testing to ensure smooth operation and peak efficiency.
Automatic storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) are computer-controlled solutions ideal for distribution environments that move high volumes of products or materials. One of the primary roles of an ASRS is storing and receiving products on demand to improve warehouse efficiency and eliminate the errors that come with manual work. These systems typically pair with warehouse execution system (WES) software to coordinate labor and robotics.
Another critical benefit of having an ASRS is the ability to retrieve and deliver materials to workers rather than the operators traveling to pick them up themselves. These systems can handle a comprehensive material range, from tiny parts to pallet loads weighing thousands of pounds.
Robotic small order sorting is an automation process that increases order fulfillment speed and improves accuracy by maximizing efficiency and eliminating human error. At Siggins, we offer a solution manufactured by OPEX® Corporation called Sure Sort™ that can consolidate order items at a very high speed. Sure Sort offers an advanced way to sort items more accurately and efficiently – and much, much faster than is possible manually.
One of the main benefits of Sure Sort is that it’s easily customizable and scalable. Operations can implement extra units and iBOTs to accommodate growth or adjust to seasonal demand.
Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) can understand and navigate a distribution environment to perform warehousing tasks like transporting items, picking and packing, sorting and more. AMRs utilize programmed mapping and sensors for navigation, accurately selecting optimal routes to improve an operation’s overall efficiency. Through their implementation, warehouses can allow workers to focus on more value-added tasks that only humans can perform.
AMRs are highly beneficial for scalability, as companies can easily add or remove robots to meet production demands.
Since 1946, Siggins has grown from a material handling systems provider operating in the Midwest to one of North America’s leading innovators in the field. Our engineering team has decades of combined experience designing the most practical and efficient robotics systems for all types of applications in warehousing, distribution and manufacturing. Whether you’re looking for a single AMR to streamline product retrieval or a comprehensive robotic sorting system, we can help you implement the perfect option for your operation.
