Warehouse and Transport Innovations
Our approach to automation and digitalisation drives efficiencies in the supply chain and is under-pinned by resource orchestration to continuously optimise operations.
Take a Look Inside the Robotics Hub
Our innovative DHL Robotics Hub is a collaboration platform that orchestrates robotics and digital automation technologies by offering plug-and-play connectivity to Warehouse Management Systems (WMS).
Offering pre-connectivity between technologies and systems.
Automation and Robots
Assisted Picking
Leveraging automation minimises worker fatigue, reduces error rate, decreases training time, increases employee satisfaction and improved units picked per hour.
Types:
- Assisted Picking Robots and Robotic Arms
- Good-to-Person Robots
- Indoor Robotic Transport
Wrapping Robot
The Wrapping Robots boost the stretch-wrapping process, decrease potential product damage and save on film waste. They come equipped with several programs allowing larger and oddly shaped items to be safely and efficiently wrapped for shipping or storage.
Benefits
- Efficiently and tightly stretch-wrap loads of various shapes and sizes
- 50% operator time freed up for other activities
- 30–40% of saving in foil compared to manual process
Wearable Devices
Smart and Android devices that supports core warehouse processes and other operational applications enable hands-free operations and make picking processes more efficient.
Benefits
- Reduced weight from traditional hand-held RF devices
- 10-15% productivity increase due to the time saved with hands-free operations
- Positive user feedback due to improved ergonomics
Supporting Robots
Improved mapping of environments, better path planning, longer lasting batteries, efficient electric motors and the development of omnidirectional wheels have revolutionised the category of supporting robots
Types:
- Cleaning - Cleans up to 1,200 square meters per hour
- Security - detect anomalous behaviour at night
- Dimensioning - quickly and accurately measures inventory
