Botworx designs and builds machines with three goals: to save you time, minimize your effort and keep you safe. Our mobile robot range are made to serve a wide range of applications, from security to cleaning to logistics and delivery. Our latest botMover was designed with warehouses and factories in mind, to reduce the need to ferry goods around manually. Over the years, we learnt that trying to tackle automation from the outset is a timely and costly affair and rarely achieves the desired result of a 100% automated workflow. Warehouses and factories need to adapt to an ever changing demand and so we start by assisting businesses first and then automating progressively. botMover is a mobile robot with full autonomous capabilities but can also be controlled semi autonomously through our telebot cloud service and takes instructions from your associates initially using the most intuitive interface: speech. Telebot operators work with you to move goods, visually inspect stock and even analyse data. As tasks mature and become repetitive, our operators automate these on our botConnect web platform. These are then available for associates and workers to use through their mobile devices.
Productivity starts on day one and should grow over time. We can see how this is achieved by looking at your current manual workflow which will look similar to the following:
With our botConnect subscription your bots are ready out of the box and can be treated as another team member, our telebot operators can even attend toolbox meetings and will guide you to achieve the best result from your bots and your workflow in general. This will include analyzing data from your WMS or other sources and even using bots to do visual inspection on new stock locations before shift starts so your associates won’t have to.
Every bot you add to your workforce will start saving you time and money and as the process matures organically your workflow will resemble the following instead:
Summary
With a Botworx solution your business will achieve the following progressively with minimal cost, complexity and lead time.
- Save you time. As goods are now being ferried with a low operational cost, you save on worker and associate travel time leading to 2x-3x productivity.
- Minimizing effort. Your team will now work in more focused locations, sometimes seated, reducing the need for jumping from place to place and forgetting what they were doing.
- Safety. As much as we love our bots, if they are hit by heavy machinery or a falling shelf, it will spare those injuries from happening to your team. Secondly, repetitive manual handling of trolleys causes strain injuries and increases risk dramatically, botMover mitigates those risks. Also by using botMover to monitor dangerous areas they can act as eyes and ears to warn others in harm’s way.
