From Minutes to Moments: Speed and Throughput

Conveyor choreography that turns seconds into saved days

A regional distributor replaced manual cart runs with synchronized conveyors and AMRs, trimming average pick paths by half. Over one quarter, that tiny per-order reduction translated into entire days recovered, enabling faster cutoffs and later carrier pickups without overtime burdens.

Peak season without panic or temporary chaos

Instead of hiring short-term labor every holiday, automated sortation and smart batching absorbed 40 percent higher daily volume. Orders still shipped same day, and supervisors reported calmer shifts, fewer bottlenecks at pack stations, and steadier performance across the entire peak window.

Tell us which repetitive motion steals the most time on your floor. We will share a simple automation experiment to reclaim those minutes and demonstrate measurable throughput gains quickly.

Guided picks that make the right choice the easy choice

Light-directed zones and scan-to-confirm steps removed ambiguity at densely slotted bays. New associates reached veteran-level accuracy within days, and mispick rates dropped so sharply that customer service stopped bracing for the weekly surge of complaint tickets.

Returns shrink, loyalty grows, margins follow

With item and lot confirmation at each handoff, a healthcare supplier reduced wrong-item returns dramatically. That accuracy avoided reship costs and protected patient-critical timelines, strengthening long-term contracts and raising renewal rates across their key accounts.

People First: Safer, Smarter Labor Utilization

Goods-to-person stations cut walking and awkward reaches, while lift-assist devices eliminated risky hoists. Injury claims fell, morale improved, and operators reported feeling valued because their work centered on decisions rather than exhausting physical exertion.

See Everything Now: Real-Time Visibility and Decisions

Supervisors used live heat maps to spot congestion at put walls, while pickers viewed prioritized tasks on mobile devices. The shared picture cut radio chatter and enabled data-driven huddles that steered the shift proactively rather than reactively.

When backlogs form, automated rules escalate to the right person with context. One operation reallocated two AMRs and a floater within minutes, avoiding a cascading delay that previously required costly late linehauls and weekend overtime.

A startup began with a single goods-to-person aisle for their top movers. After confirming ROI, they added zones, doubled tote density, and layered smart replenishment, unlocking growth without the pain of a warehouse relocation.

Savings That Compound: Cost, ROI, and Sustainability Wins

By trimming travel and compressing cycle times, one facility lowered labor hours per order significantly. They redirected overtime budget into cross-training and still achieved a strong payback timeline even before peak season arrived.

Fewer errors mean fewer reships, less packaging waste, and shorter customer wait times. That combination lifted satisfaction scores, reduced carbon-intensive expedites, and helped the team secure an internal sustainability grant for broader automation.
