Due to their ability to automate tasks that require little or no cognition, robotic order fulfillment has become extremely valuable. These robots range from articulated arms to collaborative and autonomous mobile robots. They can execute any number of picking strategies and transport goods and materials from one point to another.

Let’s look at some of the benefits of using robots in warehouses!

• Reduces travel time and improves overall efficiency.
• Reduces strain on warehouse associates: risky or physically demanding manual tasks include transporting heavier loads across the warehouse, retrieving SKUs from high shelves, and other potentially dangerous activities.
• Improves flexibility and scalability: robots are relatively easy to implement and require no infrastructural changes to your facility, so the initial setup costs are lower than the cost of implementing traditional automation solutions like conveyor systems.
• Improves accuracy: fatigue, distraction, and stress effects predispose humans to make errors. Computer-controlled systems and robots increase the accuracy of order fulfillment activities.
• Reduces labor demands: collaborative robots help to fill the gap caused by staffing challenges by improving productivity and augmenting the work of humans.
• Improves productivity: robotic order fulfilments can accelerate the execution of routine processes by increasing pick rates and using optimized pick routes.
