Arkrobot - A Disruptive Technology
Why do we need Warehouse Automation?
In a business, that requires storing and retrieving of huge number of product inventories, it becomes a critical factor to implement a quick and efficient automation solution. It is widely known that manpower dependency leads to delays, quality issues, inaccurate picking and slower pick rates, hence reduced throughput from a warehouse. A rapidly growing business which is looking to scale up, often faces this as a bottle neck when it comes to handling the surge of orders. An efficient and scalable order fulfillment system is therefore required to automate the process. The current process involves sending pick workers with a trolley to inventory locations. This is easier said than done when you have warehouses as big as many football fields! Therefore with Ark Robot, we bring the goods to the people and store them efficiently using data analytics such that the fastest selling items are always stored closest to the worker!
A properly Automated warehouse once implemented, becomes the backbone and growth accelerator of a business on which further expansion is possible. Long term benefits such as stability, consistency, lower cost of operation and accurate picking are some of the benefits of such an Automated warehouse. However it is necessary for such a technology to be cost effective and reliable such that a business can bet on it round the year. Arkrobot is developed around these lines for various Industry Segments including eRetail and Retail among others.
