To more improve the logistics workflow processes for personnel, Zalando, the German multinational e-commerce business, implemented automation through AMR (autonomous mobile robots) help. The AMRs furnished by Idealworks help Zalando’s logistics staff in Mönchengladbach, Germany, with autonomous transport that involves limited supervision.
At Zalando, the AMRs from the BMW Group’s wholly owned subsidiary Idealworks are utilised to shift packed orders in between two sorters in the shipping spot. On a 50-meter-extended route, the AMRs can drive up to 8 km/h. The AMRs receive their transport requests from Idealworks’ fleet management application, which is connected to Zalando’s central IT program, ZalOs.
Zalando’s director of Logistics Progress Carl-Friedrich zu Knyphausen claims: “This extra transportation opportunity may well appear small, but owing to its frequency, repetitions, and autonomy, it positively affects our colleagues’ task allocation. In the earlier, our colleagues were manually transporting the goods in carts. This was a monotonous activity that is now automatic. Our colleagues can focus on other things to do, this kind of as loading parcels in vans, which requires much more planning. We are now on the lookout into even more use situations for autonomous transportation in our logistics centres.”
