PROJECT BACKGROUND
3,300㎡ storage space
Conveyor line operating capacity
Cache shelf operation capabilities
Picking accuracy
Project Pain Points
Inventory and Traffic Challenges: Massive SKUs, huge traffic fluctuations, and extremely complex inventory management.
Stringent Fulfillment Standards: Orders must be shipped out on the same day, with an accuracy rate of 99.99% required.
Heavy Labor Costs: Purely manual picking is costly and error rates are difficult to control effectively.
Solution
This solution first involved a highly focused Proof of Concept (POC) project at Walmart’s Shenzhen distribution center, aiming to test the feasibility of “goods-to-person” robot technology in a real-world environment.
Six robots were deployed in a 200-square-meter simulated work area to execute a complete closed-loop warehousing operation.
This validation covered the entire process from receiving and shelving, replenishment, dynamic inventory counting, to final outbound shipment according to order instructions.
Customer Value
Efficiency Leap: Successfully validated a 3.5x increase in picking efficiency, laying the foundation for accelerating the overall supply chain.
Precision and Reliability: A breakthrough improvement in picking accuracy significantly reduced potential fulfillment error costs.
Model Innovation: Demonstrated the success of the robotic picking model and achieved a significant reduction in employee workload.
