Warehouse Automation Solutions with Seamless Integration

Contextant can design warehouse automation solutions and gradually implement them in a way that is simple, programmatic, and can grow with you over time.

Warehouse Automation Solutions

After we complete and review our initial consultation with you, Contextant can develop a roadmap for a gradual implementation that is simple, programmatic, and can grow with you over time. We’ll include the scope of what will be done, how much it will cost, and when it will be completed. It may also include recommendations for other technologies and solutions that may be beneficial for you in the future.

We work with you to evaluate different technology vendors to find the best fit for your needs. We are both hardware and software agnostic, so clients can receive unbiased recommendations as to what makes the most sense for their business.

We’ll also help to ensure a seamless integration with your existing vendor, legacy and custom platforms. We can map processes to your current WES/WMS and ERP systems to help bridge the gap between those existing systems and your new automation technologies.

Potential solutions may include the following IoT-based technologies:

Automated Mobile Robots (AMRs) AMRs efficiently and accurately move materials through a warehouse, freeing up associates to spend more time on higher-level tasks. They are easily incorporated into your workflow, require no infrastructure changes to the warehouse, and are simple to scale to accommodate company growth.
Smart Conveyors Smart conveyors can move materials through a warehouse automatically rather than manually, making the process more efficient, accurate, and cost-effective.
Voice Picking Voice picking technology communicates the requirements of incoming orders directly to associates, telling them which products to pick to complete customer orders. Voice picking technologies help to improve order accuracy and boost productivity within the warehouse.

Contextant can help plan, design and integrate an Automated Mobile Robot solution for your warehousing needs. Check out the video below to get an idea of what is possible!

Features of a Contextant-Designed Warehouse Automation Solution

By combining a variety of IoT-based technologies together, we can design an automated warehouse solution that works best for you. Here’s one example of what a potential solution might look like.

Smart Induction An associate can induct one or more orders to a Tote/Container/Robot (depending on configuration) from the WMS and the robot will be directed to each location it needs to make a stop at.
Picking An associate performs the material handling and the AMR moves from location to location to fulfill the order(s).
Replenishments and Inventory Transfers Replenishments and Inventory Transfers.
Task Interleaving Associates can switch between tasks based on the AMR nearest to them.
Task Detection Detect Tasks based on AMR proximity or QR Codes.
Route Planning Efficient Route planning to prevent too many Robots in one area.
WMS Interaction Efficient interaction with WMS to indicate an order has been started/completed (if WMS supports detail status).

You can leverage the same benefits from warehouse automation that enterprise companies have seen for years with right-size solutions for your mid-size business.
