Warehouse Putaway in 5 Steps with AMRs

In the simplest manner, putaway is essentially reverse picking. You take an item and put it back into a bin rather than picking an item out of the bin.

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) make the process easier for your warehouse associates by taking away the miles of walking each day lugging heavy carts holding those items for picking and putaway. 

Here’s how no bulk storage and putaway with LocusBots works in your warehouse:

1. Pallets and cases of product arrive on a truck to your warehouse dock
2. Workers scan in and unload the pallets and cases onto a conveyor that comes out of the dock into your warehouse
3. Workers load the boxes, pallets, and cases onto Origin, Vector, and Max – who, by the way, can carry up to 3,000 pounds!
4. Our LocusBots bring the material to your warehouse associates, who will take the products out and put them away, leaving the corrugated cardboard on the AMR
5. Our LocusBots then drop off the cardboard at the trash compactor and head back to the truck dock for more material to bring to putaway

Think about how that no bulk storage and putaway with AMRs could work in your warehouse. You may just have solved your biggest warehouse challenge of storage capacity.
