![]() ![]() | Image credit: Fetch Robotics New safety considerations for forklifts The FlexShelf uses eye catching lighting and put to light features to improve quality. Given increasing consumer expectations driven by the on-demand economy along with a limited workforce, automated processes can help streamline tasks, create happier, more efficient workers, and help businesses stay competitive in a dynamic marketplace. All of Fetch’s AMRs operate on a facility’s existing Wi-Fi network with the option to use current handheld, voice and vision technologies capable of interfacing with FetchCore’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) in the cloud.Īccording to Zebra’s Warehousing Vision Study, 77% of respondents agree augmenting workers with technology is the best way to introduce automation in the warehouse. “Our new comprehensive fulfillment solution brings together the best of both companies to help our retail, wholesale and third-party logistics (3PL) customers overcome the biggest challenges in their each and case picking workflows with automation that is truly intelligent.”Īll of these new AMRs can be purchased using a capital or Robot as a Service (RaaS) model, depending upon customer preference. “In 2020, we introduced SmartSight as our first automation solution for front-of-store retail, and we welcomed Fetch and its broad portfolio of AMRs for material transport in logistics and manufacturing into the Zebra family just a few months ago,” said James Lawton, VP and GM of robotics automation, Zebra Technologies. Let’s say you have an overflow process, we can support that very simply out of the box with our product, as compared to some of the competitors who have one process.” We have a lot more flexibility in the types of workflows and the types of processes we can support. They basically come in through the same top endpoint, and then underneath that, we’re able to build the custom workflow with the tweaks that are required for the customer. Wise describes the new FetchCore release this way: “if you look at the way we built the software platform, we’re able to work with any number of WMS or WES providers. FetchCore supports multiple workflow processes Fetch expects new human associates introduced to the warehouse floor to learn the pick assist system within minutes.įetch said the RollerTop Guide AMR can integrate each-picking workflows with existing fixed conveyance, sortation, and automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). With all of the interactivity built into the FlexShelf, order accuracy is improved and the learning curve is much smaller. The new products are all compliant with the new R15.08 safety standard. The LEDs also function as “put to” lighting to help ensure accuracy of the order creation for each specific customer.įlexShelf can carry total cargo up to 70 kilograms, which is higher than many competitive warehouse person-to-goods solutions. Built into the shelf support structure are indicator LED light bars to help alert operators to the proper side of the aisle for the target inventory location, as well as indicate the priority of the pick operation. Where the HMIShelf was designed for manufacturing material handling, the FlexShelf is optimized for warehouse operations.įlexShelf includes an integrated touch screen, barcode scanner and an NFC tag reader. The Fetch FlexShelf is designed for warehouse operations, and includes additional, active functionality not found on the existing Fetch HMIShelf. It enables the dynamic orchestration of labor and robots by integrating with leading warehouse management systems (WMS) and warehouse execution systems (WES) to optimize order, batch, case, and pallet picking workflows. The FetchCore enterprise cloud software allows companies to modify workflows on-demand for warehouse operations. However, Fetch co-founder Melonee Wise said, “a lot of our customers have been pushing us in this direction for quite some time.” The integration with Zebra’s solutions helps validate the new products. They are designed to optimize person-to-goods workflow within a warehouse. ![]() The three new autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are built on top of the Fetch Freight100 AMR platform. The acquisition of Fetch Robotics by Zebra Technologies Corporation is bearing its first fruit today with the release of the new Fetch FlexShelf, FlexShelf Guide, RollerTop Guide – and a new FetchCore fulfillment software package for order or batch picking. The Fetch FlexShelf enables person-to-goods warehouse workflows. ![]()
