Most of the warehousing activities across industries continue to take place with human effort, but with increasing minimum wages, implementation of robotic solutions has been highly beneficial for distribution centers. Another key reason behind automation, as explained by Markus Sturm, CSO & COO of TGW is, “People tend to get tired and make mistakes which are reduced with a machine-based system, creating a better ROI for our customers.” The robots employed by TGW primarily perform activities ranging from collecting to storing the goods by moving them around as per the need. The secondary function is order-picking, wherein the robots are responsible for pallet sizing as well as picking a single article out of a stack to be shipped out.
TGW mainly focuses on the core markets of grocery, retail, and e-commerce with an aim to do layer-palletizing and de-palletizing
The company has also been providing palletizing and de-palletizing applications to grocery retailers with the help of robotic solutions in deep-freeze environment. As humans cannot work in such an environment, implementing robotic solutions not only eases the workflow but also completes the work more efficiently. This proves to be a big driver for implementing robotic technology in that environment. The company, to address varied warehousing requirements of businesses, employs its software suite designed exclusively for warehousing, which manages everything from maintaining the overview of the stock, optimizing the material flow to shipping goods. This suite delivers and calculates the pattern of palletizing further facilitating the warehousing.
With presence in the US, Japan, and Western Europe, where businesses employ robotics due to high minimum wages, TGW further hopes to expand into other countries. Despite robotics hovering over major warehousing activities, there still remain areas where human effort cannot be replaced. However, TGW is working towards developing robotics in more areas to replace effort to the maximum extent.
