Fortna<\/a>, the distribution experts, reports that 2018 has been a year of successful initiatives to integrate flexible, scalable autonomous robotic solutions with the world-class FortnaWES warehouse execution system, allowing faster implementation times for distribution Clients.<\/p>\n

In an on-going commitment to innovation, the Fortna<\/a> R&D team has successfully integrated robotic solutions with FortnaWES to deliver exceptional flexibility, agility and responsiveness to enable complex, high-volume distribution centers in today\u2019s omnichannel environment.<\/p>\n

Demand for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) has grown exponentially in recent years as realized benefits include reduced labor costs, increased worker productivity and increased safety when handling heavy loads. Fortna<\/a> has been on the forefront of solution development with a hardware-agnostic approach that enables its Clients to implement the most appropriate technology for their unique business requirements regardless of supplier.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, Fortna<\/a>\u2019s continuous innovation efforts focused on integrating industry-leading robotic technology with science-backed work flow software algorithms to drive impactful business results for our Clients,\u201d says Shankar Shanmugasundaram, Fortna<\/a> Vice President, Product R&D. \u201cVarious types of robotic solutions, integrated with FortnaWES, reduce implementation time for distribution Clients who must respond quickly to labor challenges, market demands and rapidly evolving customer fulfillment requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fortna R&D team has successfully integrated robotic solutions with FortnaWES to deliver exceptional flexibility, agility and responsiveness to enable complex, high-volume distribution centers in today\u2019s omnichannel environment.<\/p><\/div>\n

One recent goods-to-person solution for a large specialty retailer uses bots to efficiently move large, heavy totes to packing stations, reducing the labor requirements. Another solution implemented for a large industrial distributor automated pallet movement from receiving to storage which resulted in a 30% increase in productivity, as well as 5-10% labor savings and safety improvements.<\/p>\n
