Automate workflows that keep supply chains moving
For businesses facing material handling challenges, autonomy can change the game. But because many solutions require infrastructure changes within warehouses and distribution centers, it’s not achievable for every business. Vaux Smart Autonomy makes it possible.
Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) forklifts and reach trucks, intelligent software and remote teleoperation capabilities work together to provide a solution that makes processes more efficient and creates a safer environment for people and products.
8 key benefits of Vaux Smart Autonomy
Discover how Vaux Smart Autonomy revolutionizes intralogistics processes:
Makes warehouse automation accessible
Vaux Smart Autonomy is the only autonomous material handling technology available today that can adjust for variability in facilities, pallet sizes and processes out of the box.
Its ability to dynamically adapt to changing conditions allows businesses to add automation to their operations without significant structural changes. And because each forklift and reach truck can measure pallets and adjust the forks to fit multiple dimensions, you don’t have to use standard pallets.
All of this makes autonomy achievable and implementation easier, faster and less costly than other solutions.
Creates a safer work environment
The Vaux Smart Autonomy fleet prioritizes the well-being of both workers and products. With built-in safety protocols and obstacle detection systems, there’s less risk of accidents, which creates a more secure working environment.
Safety is also prioritized by moving workers from warehouse and dock environments to remote office settings. Low-latency video streaming combined with Vaux OS applications enables remote monitoring and operation. This reduces stress and injuries associated with physically driving a vehicle.
Removes the need for repetitive manual labor
With Vaux, companies can automate routine and repetitive tasks like barcode scanning and moving pallets around. This allows workers to focus on more complex, value-added activities within warehouses, distribution centers and other facilities.
Enables data-driven decision-making
These intelligent machines easily sync with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and provide a wealth of data related to operations. Analyzing this data provides insights into performance, enabling continuous improvement in processes, resource allocation and overall efficiency.
Streamlines warehouse operations
Vaux OS applications optimize routes and efficiently manage workflows to create the ideal balance between fully autonomous and fully human-operated operations. This means faster turnaround times, increased throughput, and ultimately, more profit.
Reduces the risk of product damage and loss
Vaux Smart Autonomy helps customers reduce damage and manage costly claims. Throughout the material handling lifecycle, the technology takes pictures of pallets and analyzes them for damage. If damage does occur, it can pinpoint where it happened in the process.
This can keep damaged products from getting to the end customer. For example, if the damage is identified at the first stop, the product can be sent back to the supplier. This saves time, money and customer frustration.
Vaux Smart Autonomy also eliminates the problem of products getting lost on the dock if workers don’t scan barcodes correctly. The technology automatically scans the barcode and then takes a picture to know when it is loaded on the forks and captures where the materials are unloaded.
Helps with labor availability
The flexibility provided by teleoperations capabilities helps ease the labor gap many businesses are facing. The safer work environment can make jobs more appealing to applicants, including those who are neurodiverse and those who have disabilities that have kept them from working in a warehouse environment.
The ability to operate outside of the facility means you can source employees from all over the world. Being able to rely on different time zones to expand operating hours or simply find employees from more locations can make it easier to fill jobs.
Supports sustainability initiatives
With energy-efficient designs and optimized workflows, Vaux Smart Autonomy helps create a more sustainable warehouse. Reduced energy consumption is better for the planet and your bottom line.
