Warehouse Transport

Walking a large warehouse to find items was holding productivity down.

Since 2018, 216 robots at East Japan FC (Chiba) bring whole shelves to workstations.

Outbound capacity 4x, storage 2x, and 40% less labor across the warehouse.

Palletizing was already automated, but moving pallets to the next step still needed workers.

Triggered by equipment PLC signals, the VNP15 carries finished pallets to the truck berth and refills the palletizer with empty pallets.

Destinations are assigned automatically, so the whole transfer runs with no operator instructions.

Manual forklift replenishment shifted parts across several lanes, so location records needed operator input.

At the head plant, the VNP15 takes parts from double-stacked steel pallets (4 deep × 12 wide) and feeds a chute, triggered by equipment PLC signals via RCS.

14 cameras detect part movements in real time and update locations automatically, enabling fully unmanned operation.

Run high-volume apparel e-commerce fulfillment accurately from day one at a new 56,000 m² site.

In March 2023, about 200 goods-to-person P800 AMRs (1,000 kg payload, 2 m/s) went into Radial's second Indianapolis center.

Goods-to-person picking lifts efficiency and accuracy; replicates Radial's European Geek+ sites in North America and created 100+ jobs.

E-commerce logistics serving 1,045 stores in 25 European countries had to absorb rising orders and returns with next-day delivery and near-perfect accuracy.

Hundreds of P-series goods-to-person robots deployed at DCs in Castelnau (France), Łódź (Poland), and Campania (Italy).

3x efficiency vs. manual, 250 order lines per hour per station, 339 putaway items per hour, and up to 30% more storage capacity.
