Robotic integrations with Modula

Efficient storage and handling of materials, picking and depositing operations, all managed by a simple and intuitive warehouse management software are some of the objectives of modern intralogistics management.

Leveraging industrial robotization and automation for logistics, a vertical storage solution integrates seamlessly with advanced robotic solutions. Smart automation technology enables fluid interaction between industrial automations and robotics components. The result? A highly efficient robotic warehouse, with improved operational efficiency and optimal use of space.

Automation with robots, including warehouse robots and robotic cabinets, is the future of logistics, guaranteeing unprecedented precision and throughput. Modula automatic solutions and Modula automation integrations have a remarkable capacity to coordinate complex systems, for optimal warehouse operations management.

By integrating robotic systems and robotic solutions for warehouses, you can significantly improve robotic efficiency, slashing downtime and boosting productivity. With Modula system integrations and smart automation technology, robotics is revolutionising industrial processes: warehouse automation is now an achievable reality that can truly benefit modern businesses.

Different automation solutions can be made to work together, to optimise production flow and supply chain management in complex systems or for specific purposes. This is a particularly effective strategy for streamlining the management of production and supply chain processes.
Robotic technology is an amazing resource for any business that needs to manage picking, replenishing, refilling or automated movement operations. That’s why robots are gaining in popularity across all industries, and industrial robotics is seeing rapid growth across a vast number of applications. Robotic solutions are also becoming increasingly affordable, as well as useful, for businesses in every sector.

Many of these operations can now be automated by integrating Modula’s automated robotic solutions with autonomous mobile robots (AMR), anthropomorphic robots, or autonomous mobile robots like MIR (Mobile industrial robots).

Due to advances in technology, these machines are fast becoming an essential element of warehouse logistics and automated picking operations.

What are the advantages of integration of robotic solutions?

Combining two technologies (automatic vertical storage solutions and mobile robots) offers an array of advantages.

  • Safety and ergonomics
    Automating operations protects workers’ health, by limiting the likelihood of injury; it also stops them from having to perform heavy, repetitive operations.
  • Modularity and scalability
    These technologies are modular, scalable and versatile: they can adapt to different facilities, and you can adapt them to your changing business requirements over time, allowing for more efficient management of staff and equipment.
Robotic integrations
  • Fast installation
    Both these smart automation technologies can be installed extremely quickly, without requiring any major structural changes.
  • Flexibility
    When performing its missions, a robot can “take decisions” and adapt to changes along the way based on the data it picks up in its working environment. This swift responsiveness is a major plus point: by sharing data in the cloud, the robot can learn and behave according to settings and situations. Increasingly advanced instrumentation (like laser scanner or 3D video camera) allows it to differentiate between permanent and temporary obstacles and act accordingly.
Robotic integrations
  • Native software integration
    Leveraging new, service-oriented architecture and equipped with improved connectivity, the Modula WMS software interacts natively with the industrial robotics software installed on AMRs, robots or cobots (collaborative robots), for seamless integration between the two systems. This means less effort is required to “train” the robot to do its tasks.
  • Accuracy
    Advances in navigation technology, sensors and artificial intelligence ensure that robots for automation perform their tasks to the highest standards of accuracy.

Modula works with a number of different robotics companies: our portfolio includes robotic integrations between Fanuc, Kuka and Abb Siemens robots and Modula warehouses, for a wide range of uses, sectors, companies and functions.

Time after time, the integration of robots in distribution warehouses or for machine tending in manufacturing has delivered impressive results – even for highly delicate operations or those required to run 24/7.
