NEO | Robot-Assisted Picking in Existing Shelving Warehouses

NEO automates picking in existing shelving warehouses. At the core is our software NEO:os: it connects the existing warehouse management system (WMS) with autonomous mobile robots and the goods-to-person stations. The existing racking remains in place. NEO:os coordinates the entire process from order to container delivery. Mobile robots retrieve the required containers from the shelves and bring them to the NEO:pickstation. There, staff pick the items for each order. The containers are then returned to storage. Walking routes between storage locations are eliminated for staff. Returns can also be processed and items restocked via the NEO:pickstation. NEO develops the software and integrates the robotics of specialized manufacturers into the picking process. The existing WMS remains in use. Installation takes place during ongoing operations, with a go-live planned within 6 to 8 weeks. The pay-per-pick model covers robots, software, service and maintenance with no upfront investment. Billing is per pick at the station. The solution targets e-commerce, retail, fulfillment and spare parts warehouses. Use is recommended from 3,000 picks per day in the shelving area to be automated. The official pick rate is 350 picks per hour per station; the actually achievable throughput depends on the item and order profile.
