Honeywell

Alliance to help companies optimize space and increase productivity in fulfilling customer orders. Pairs Honeywell's warehouse automation and software with autonomous case/tote handling robotics.

Rather than being just stand-alone solutions for order picking and consolidation, pick-to-light is increasingly being used in the context of integrated solutions, while new twists on light technology open up new application areas.

Honeywell (Booth S618) is exhibiting several technologies, each of which is being deployed at DCs and warehouses around the world.

Widely used inside the four walls, wireless mobile devices from scanners and printers to tablets are a strong player in facility productivity. Recent advances ensure that they’ll become increasingly valuable to workflows and throughput efficiencies.

Furniture e-tailer Oliver Space deploys Cloud WMS in less than two months while meeting its unique needs around inventory tracking and visibility over a reverse stream of goods being refurbished for its home furniture lineup.

Warehouses and fulfillment centers are increasingly automated, asset-intensive operations with multiple types of automation systems and robotics that need to work together to hit throughput goals. Consulting and assessments can identify likely solutions, but to get a solid prediction of what integrated systems can achieve, digital models and simulation are being widely used.

Once viewed as cost prohibitive, facilities of all stripes and sizes can now find palletizing within their reach.

Automatic data capture just got a new ally: the edge. The technology allows everything from scanners to voice systems to process data on the edge of where it is collected. The result is real-time decisions that deal with reality, not a plan that no longer applies.

Implement Voice-Directed Picking or Robotics now without heartache.

Building on faster, more robust communications networks, wireless devices from handheld terminals to autonomous mobile robots are on a path to increasing operational efficiencies, regardless of workforce challenges.

As robotics become more widely deployed and some operations begin to use fleets from multiple vendors, more of the talk is about software-related issues like integration and less on the workings of the robot hardware itself.

With supply chains in disarray and the labor shortage persisting, companies across the board are turning to automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) solutions to help them work smarter, better and faster.

As robotics become more widely deployed and some operations begin to use fleets from multiple vendors, more of the talk is about software-related issues like integration and less on the workings of the robot hardware itself.

Identify voice-enabled technology you can immediately implement that can increase productivity as much as 35% while reducing errors in distribution and fulfillment (D&F) processes by as much as 50%.

Mobile devices are getting significant upgrades that will improve point-of-use and enterprise productivity. Advances range from the move to Android systems to a consolidation of form factors while trying out some new ones, and the debut of platforms that make the link to enterprise systems.
