Warehousing & Fulfillment
The pressure on response time in order processing is a common concern for businesses today. In order to compete with demands at a healthy level, warehouses and fulfillment centers are looking for technology to help increase efficiency and maintain a healthy environment for workers. Especially with staffing issues challenging companies, creating ways to support workers with safety tools help to lessen risk of injury and opens up recs to a wider prospect pool.
Areas and tasks most common for exoskeleton use:
Exoskeletons for Palletization
A common challenge area in automated warehouses and fulfillment is palletizing systems due to the wide variety of sizes and weights of objects. To maintain consistency and quality management in the process, organizations opt to keep workers in these tasks. With the additional implementation of a powered exo suit, workers can handle bulky, heavy loads for palletizing without risking injury to their backs.
Exoskeletons for Parcel Handling
Precision and speed for large or odd-shaped parcel handling can also be complex for newer technologies and standard lift assists can be bulky or hazardous. With the load left to workers to manage, companies can support them with exoskeleton tools to keep them safe while performing these frequent lifts and moves.
Exoskeletons for Order Picking & Commissioning
Preparing and dispatching orders is an area often looked at for automatization. However, for workflows with unique needs, an exoskeleton can be implemented to provide a "hybrid" solution where workers can utilize new technologies to remain in the function at an optimized and safe level.
