Warehouse Operations Worldwide Gain Efficiency Under the Cover of Darkness

April 18, 2007

Faced with the increasing challenges of globalization, businesses have no choice but to scrutinize operations and find new avenues for improving warehouse productivity. RMT Robotics is helping clients like Goodyear do just that. With RMT’s lights-out order picking, manufacturers everywhere can now automate even highly complex processes around the clock, while realizing benefits to the bottom line.

Manufacturers and distribution centres struggling to improve warehouse performance are within reach of lean warehousing, thanks to RMT Robotics’ imaginative approach to order picking. Customers making the switch to RMT’s lights-out technology more than welcome the payoffs of headcount reduction, improved customer fill rates, faster, more accurate deliveries and reduction of on-hand inventory.

It’s a major productivity advantage, and the reason Goodyear selected RMT Robotics for its North American supply chain team. “The result of using RMT automation systems is a dramatic reduction in the number of times product is handled between manufacturing and shipping,” said Bill Torrens, Director of Sales & Marketing. “Manual processes once thought to be too complex to automate are a thing of the past.”

With RMT’s proprietary robotic gantry technology, distribution centres are able to receive random product from manufacturing, sort and temporarily stage the product under RMT’s gantry, then pick and deploy product to the dock in trailer loading sequence. The inventory management system identifies and tracks 100 percent of the product, providing real-time information on demand.
