Automation solutions provider Addverb Technologies has announced a strategic North American partnership with Numina Group, an independent warehouse automation software developer and systems integrator.
The agreement expands the deployment of Addverb’s mobile robots for automation solutions to North American warehouses and provides Numina Group’s customers access to additional technology applications for faster and smarter warehouse order fulfilment automation.
Numina will start with Addverb’s Dynamo series of robots, which work collaboratively with human order pickers to increase efficiency. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are an attractive option for replacing or augmenting conventional conveyor-based systems because they are cost-effective and rival or surpass their efficiency, the partnership said.
AMRs can navigate multiple zones and pick points in the warehouse, transport products to a consolidated packing point, and increase safety measures by handling the heavy lifting – the robots can lift and transport up to 850lbs in a single trip.
“Addverb Technologies offer a variety of solutions to fit any customer’s needs including fixed and flexible automation solutions running on our end-to-end AI-powered software platform,” said Sriram Sridhar, chief revenue officer of Addverb Technologies USA Inc.
“Together, we create a powerful offering that provides the best service and solutions to clients in the Americas market that need to improve order fulfilment throughput infrastructure using scalable and modular platforms.
According to the collaboration, when AMRs like Addverb’s Dynamo Series are paired with software solutions like Numina’s Real-Time Distribution Software (RTS), which uses voice commands to direct warehouse workers wearing mobile wearable computers and wireless headsets, warehouses can double their productivity to achieve peak performance and accuracy.
“The latest generation of autonomous mobile robots is the right technology for many fulfilment operations to reduce labour and achieve a high accuracy pick and pack process and provide a quick ROI,” added Dan Hanrahan, Numina Group’s founder and CEO.
“Increasingly, Addverb’s expertise in robot-based hardware and software technologies will enable us to offer more customised solutions and choices for our customers.”
