In a rapidly evolving landscape where operational agility is key, the emergence of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) represents a shift towards more intelligent, autonomous systems. At BoxLogix, we often encounter questions from various businesses about the role and capabilities of AMRs. This technology is gaining traction across a broad spectrum of industries, offering versatile applications and enhancing productivity in diverse workflows. In this article, we aim to address common queries and showcasing how these solutions can provide value for a wide range of operations.

The proliferation of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) across various sectors has underscored the need for stringent safety protocols. As these robots find their way into dynamic environments, ensuring their safe interaction with both humans and their surroundings becomes paramount. This article sheds light on the safety standards and best practices associated with AMRs. 

The proposition might raise eyebrows: could an automation upgrade truly self-finance within a 36-month period, or even less? At BoxLogix, we assert with confidence that it's not just plausible—it's a reality we've witnessed across multiple projects. The return on investment (ROI) for automated material handling systems is not a one-size-fits-all but varies significantly based on the system's sophistication and the unique operational landscape of each enterprise.

Material handling is the movement, protection, storage and control of materials and products throughout manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, consumption and disposal. As a process, material handling incorporates a wide range of manual, semi-automated and automated equipment and systems that support logistics and make the supply chain work.

Pallets and packaging have a hard life. As they carry goods through the supply chain, they bump and skid against an unforgiving assortment of lift trucks, conveyors, trailers, automated storage, racks and even floors. And if that isn’t tough enough, packaging rarely enjoys the money and attention paid to all of its assailants.

Our friends at Ryson Spiral are doing some amazing things, keeping product moving in ultra tight and hard to reach areas.  

SpeedCell Storage Solutions (Booth 4527) introduced a new way to pick orders with its SpeedCell Cart at a Wednesday press conference. The cart allows users to fill, pick and stock products in a flexible and mobile manner.

Are you looking for a faster, simpler way to calculate dimensional weights and shipping rates?

Are you incurring unexpected freight charges due to discrepancies between your dimensional measurements and your carriers’ dim weight measurements?
