Ready for Warehouse 4.0?
Summary
Several other solutions that embrace Industry 4.0 could also be instrumental in ensuring warehouse productivity, all of which are driven by custom integrated circuits, as Richard Mount, Director of Sales at Swindon Silicon Systems explains. A revolution in customer expectations, order characteristics and service requirements means there’s more pressure than ever before to get goods from the shop floor to front doors on time and with no margin for error. As a result, cobots can increase the accuracy of picking, improve safety, and reduce operating costs, thereby creating a positive impact on productivity, and facilitating warehouse and logistics automation. Turning to an expert ASIC design and supply company means the PCB size can be reduced, leading to a lighter and smaller encoder, ideal for robotics that are always on the move. ASIC companies, like Swindon, will carry out a full assessment of the customer’s needs, determining every last detail to ensure the final result is optimised for the application at hand.
