MHS teams with partners on automated order fulfillment solution – Modern Materials Handling

By Roberto Michel March 29, 2022

MHS (Booth B7255), a provider of materials handling automation and software solutions, unveiled an integrated, robotic order fulfillment solution developed in tandem with Mujin and HAI Robotics.

The goods-to-robot solution, which is managed by MHSs Helix warehouse execution system (WES), boasts operational efficiency gains of up to 400%. A zero-pressure accumulation conveyor from MHS feeds totes to and from the order fill station. HAIs autonomous case-handling robots (ACRs) transport totes between storage and a Mujin piece-picking robot. The Mujin robot picks each item for the order from a source tote, packs it and signals to Helix that the conveyor can move the completed order to the outbound location.

By bringing together these different automation technologies to work together as a cohesive system, we can help customers not only address labor challenges in workflows like order picking, but improve overall efficiency and consistency too, said Rob Schmit, senior VP, distribution and fulfillment, MHS.
