Scalable automated solution integrates into existing warehouse facilities to enhance productivity and safety
The unloading of containers from trucks is integral to the operations of any warehouse facility. But, when done manually, it’s one of the most physically demanding roles in the supply chain.
Today’s persistent labor shortages mean the process of unloading goods from containers is taking longer than before. Added to that, a surge in demand for consumer goods can make the process unpredictable, prompting delays and hindering productivity.
At Maersk, we wanted to improve the process of unloading containers in order to address ongoing labor shortages, improve warehouse safety, and boost efficiency. The challenge was to create an automated solution that could be easily and quickly integrated into existing warehouse facilities.
Around-the-clock monitoring of sortation systems extends equipment life and increases production
Box-carrying robots climb shelves to collect and replenish goods, working alongside humans within existing warehouse infrastructures
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) enhance productivity and safety at sortation systems, paving the way for multi-purpose use
