Autonomous Mobile Robots to Improve Warehouse Ops

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), fixed scanning, machine vision, and related process automation technologies can handle the heavy lifting and tedious, non-value added tasks—so warehouse pickers, DC workers, and IT teams are fully supported to focus on adding the greatest value to your operations.

Barcoding is a long-standing partner with Zebra Technologies and a Mobile Robotics Specialization participant in Zebra’s PartnerConnect program. We’re also a GS1 US^Ⓡ Executive Solutions Partner with expertise and deep experience in RAIN RFID, IoT, fixed industrial scanning, and machine vision automation solutions.

Whether you’re building out a new facility or aiming to improve operations in an existing one, our integrator teams are ready to help you choose and implement the best solutions for seamless, efficient operations and a fast track to ROI.

Automation can help you solve critical labor shortages, make across-the-board improvements in efficiency, productivity, and other critical KPIs, improve the employee experience, and more.

Autonomous Mobile Robots

AMRs can be a game-changing warehouse operational improvement by safely receiving, lifting, and carrying heavy and unwieldy items, and reducing time wasted carrying items long distances within facilities. Because they are autonomous, they are highly flexible and configurable to their environment. Let robots handle non-value added jobs like dunnage removal, milk runs, moving items from location to location, retrieving items from storage, and delivering goods to packout. Enhance the employee experience, improve productivity, and reduce employee churn.

Cloud-based AMR systems can help get you on a fast track to achieving ROI:

Minimal involvement or support required from your IT team
Artificial intelligence and self-mapping capabilities minimize downtime for installation
Implement AMRs into workflows in as little as three days
Intuitive human-machine interface requires minimal worker training
Drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to program AMR workflows
Change or add AMR tasks or add more robots, virtually on the fly
Integrate with your existing mobile devices already in employee use

Barcoding’s RaaS program delivers all the benefits of robotic process automation—plus even greater flexibility and scalability. With our selection of cloud-based AMRs, you can be up and running in days, and it’s fast and easy to scale up or down.

For many businesses, selecting RaaS also means the automation solution is an Operational Expenditure (OpEx) rather than a Capital Expenditure (CapEx). For most businesses, it is challenging to get CapEx approvals.

Deliver improved response time, meet seasonal demands, and start taking advantage of robotic automation with a lower cost of entry and optimal flexibility to meet your needs as they arise. RaaS is an ideal solution for small- to medium-size warehouse operations.

Automated Guided Vehicles

AGVs operate using dedicated space within a facility by following magnetic strips, magnets, or beacons as part of the infrastructure required for their operation. AGVs are best suited for environments with fixed, predetermined routes and tasks—duties like transporting materials, intra-facility movements, and workstation delivery needs. Because AGVs are technologically simpler than AMRs, they often tend to be more cost-effective.

Fred Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are built for manufacturing, distribution, and warehouse facilities to improve worker productivity and safety around materials movement. Barcoding, Inc. designs, manufacturers, and supports the production of our robotics solutions in our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office.

Our niche is automating processes that move goods from Point A to Point B. Our AGVs are designed to limit opportunities for downtime and expected to deliver a payback in less than 12 months. Fred’s technology is not intimidating, and results are tangible.

Are your employees and facilities ready for robotics? It’s easier than ever to get your operations and your workers robot-ready. Get expert guidance on selecting the right solution, preparing your facilities, training teams to work collaboratively with AMRs in the work environment, and identifying and expanding use cases throughout your operations. Our experts in robotics implementation and integration know how to minimize the demands on your IT departments and maximize the impact of automation on your operations.
