The integration of warehouse robotics innovations can improve your operations, from managing inventory to satisfying fulfillment requirements. As warehouses continue to adopt and integrate innovative robotics and automation solutions, the future of warehouse design is likely to change. Already, we are witnessing shifts in how warehouses operate, and increasing usage of robots will continue to inform warehouse design.
Fewer Errors
Automation in warehousing limits the risk of human error with programmable, repeatable solutions. FANUC designs and manufactures warehouse robots for high-efficiency and high-accuracy to increase productivity.
Reduced Expenses
Many warehouse operations, such as picking and sortation, traditionally have significant labor requirements, demanding more workers to spend more time fulfilling orders. With the integration of warehouse automation, you will need fewer people to handle menial tasks, allowing you to allocate your employees to more complex tasks and reducing the need for an expansive workforce.
Better Customer Satisfaction
Warehouse automation allows you to operate on time and on budget, reducing delays and getting orders into the hands of your customers more quickly. With robotic warehouse solutions, you also gain the benefit of increased traceability, which gives customers a sense of control over their orders and allows you to keep a more accurate record of your inventory, as well.

Advanced Efficiency and Productivity
Warehouses, especially those operating in the e-commerce industry, have witnessed a massive surge of growth and demand in recent years, increasing the need for innovative solutions. Using robotics in warehouse material handling operations can increase productivity by automating repetitive tasks and optimizing specific processes using warehouse robots and data input.
Enhanced Ability to Meet High Capacity Demands
High, continually-increasing demands, coupled with labor shortages, has put a lot of pressure on warehouses. Relying solely on manual labor can jeopardize productivity and result in injuries, delays, and errors. With fully-automated warehouse robots, you can optimize menial tasks and reduce the possibility of error, promoting more efficient fulfillment and ensuring customer satisfaction.
Space Efficient
Maximizing the use of space within a warehouse promotes efficiency, consistency, and optimizes resource utilization. Vertical integration can help warehouses save valuable floor space, especially with automated warehouse storage robots and retrieval processes.
Economic Environment Regulation
Ongoing labor shortages can be a detriment to operational effectiveness. Climate controlled warehouses are few and far between due to the astronomical costs associated with heating and cooling needs. Strategically using robots and cobots in warehouses can isolate areas that should or should not be temperature-controlled; areas in which only robots maneuver do not need air conditioning or heating, and keeping these areas separate can keep temperature regulation costs down while also providing a comfortable environment for your employees.
