Our customizable, automated workflows optimize typical c-store workflows:
Our Prime Workflow Builder tool designs workflow processes executed by our Robot Control System (RCS). The RCS manages all robot processes and synchronizes all robots in the warehouse to work in concert. A solution may include Prime Robotics’ suite of MobileShelf, MobilePallet, AutoJack, and MobileConveyor robots.
Coolift platforms by Magliner
Lightweight platorms used by beverage and convenience distributors. Our MobileShelf and MobilePallet robots can carry 1-2 Coolifts.
Omnitracs Certified Integration Partner
Able to coordinate robot-enabled pick orders with arrival schedules of trucks to your docks. We can help you move to a 24/7 production schedule to dramatically reduce the need for staffed dock bays.
Cubiscan
Our RCS and our solutions may include Cubiscan models. We may incorporate them on a conveyor line of inbound boxes so or use them on the side for just capturing real data and images for new SKUs. When Prime’s system has accurate weights and dimensions for objects being stored, cube space within the robotic system and cartonization is optimized. Possible to accurately predict when it’s time for another tote when doing piece picking, or a new pallet when doing case picking.
Implementation
Whether you use a top WMS or a home-grown version, integration with your current software is straightforward, after all our background is in enterprise-class warehouse systems integration! Our Robot Control System (RSC) interfaces with your WMS, uniting your inventory and order data with the robots. On-site tasks are straightforward, we apply fiducials to your warehouse floor. Our robots use these to navigate. Next we install shelves made for the MobileShelf robot and the shelves are filled with inventory. We add the Pick Station(s) designed for robot-assisted order filling. Lastly, we add robot charging stations; a robot will automatically navigate to a charging station when their battery runs low.
Go-Live
Our Team trains your team to use the RCS, and we begin test phase with 50 actual outbound orders and then slowly increase the number of orders. Within a week or two your team’s confidence in the system allows you to move 100% of your inventory and orders into the RCS system, and your robotic automation deployment is complete. We lead this process and ensure there is minimal interruption on your operation.
Planning Phase
First we ask a lot of questions and dig into your operation. Then an onsite visit allows us to document your current workflow processes, then we come back to you with the output of our Prime Workflow Builder, which takes in hundreds of pieces of data about your operation to create an optimized workflow that includes the optimal number of robots. You get a visual representation of how your warehouse can operate at its highest efficiency.
This detailed view of your automated warehouse makes it easy to calculate your new pick rate and the number of orders per day you can fulfill with confidence. We’ll show you what happens to productivity if you were to add more Pick Stations, shifts or other robots – such as our MobileShelf pallet mover.
If you want to see how to boost productivity in your warehouse, we’re here. Let’s start a conversation.
