Warehouse operators are gearing up for peak season and face higher shipping volumes driven by increased consumer demand. In building a more resilient, efficient supply chain, warehouse operators can automate tasks like depalletization, order-fulfillment, induction, tote-picking, and parcel sortation to keep pace with demand while mitigating labor shortages.

Advances in computer vision capabilities means that logistics robots can learn to recognize new SKUs, meaning warehouse workers can move to value-add positions such as Crew Chief. A Crew Chief manages multiple robots using Plus Ones’ Yonder software to handle exceptions. The Crew Chief works remotely, seeing on screen exactly what the robot sees. When the robot raises its hand for help by issuing an alert over the cloud, the Crew Chief directs it to the best pick point, getting the robot back to work in seconds.
