> LocusHub: Locus Robotics’ real-time, business intelligence engine optimizes real-time coordination of Locus’ AMR fleets. A component of the LocusOne platform, LocusHub uses advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning to provide insights that can maximize productivity, lower costs, and increase warehouse intelligence. LocusHub’s reporting capabilities process operational data to forecast labor requirements, identify optimization opportunities, and give recommendations to warehouse operators.
> tSort System: The track-free sortation system from Tompkins Robotics utilizes independent robots that can navigate to any divert or induction station. The modular system can be installed within 5-7 months and allows adjustments to its components. The most recent addition to the tSort line is the tSortPost, which has an adjustable post that allows for sorting into containers at a variety of heights. > Stretch Robot: The mobile robot from Boston Dynamics can unload trailers and containers in warehouses. Stretch can handle a range of package types and sizes, up to 50 pounds. The robot can work its way through neat or messy boxes. Using its computer vision system, Stretch can detect and retrieve any boxes that shift and fall while unloading, so Stretch can keep going without operator intervention.
