Technology we build
Our Technology Advantage – Engineering the supply chains of tomorrow, today
We see endless opportunities to advance logistics technology through innovation.
Our focus is on data-driven processes, intelligent automation and machine learning — technologies that help customers navigate increasingly complex global supply chains, while achieving their business goals.
Technology improves accuracy, reduces costs, provides a better work environment for employees, — and enables operations the ability to flex with demand and deploy resources where they have the most benefit.
Our commitment to continuous improvement is a defining characteristic of our approach to innovation. we’re able to take best practices and apply them from site to site and across verticals from ecommerce to aerospace.
We continue to invest, test, and deploy different types of technology, and have many industry-first use cases of advanced solutions in our industry.
Large-scale Automation
We are an industry leader in the deployment of advanced automation, at scale and with speed. We design and build warehouses from the ground up that are highly automated and customized to meet the specific needs of each customer.
These technology ecosystems combine innovative automation and systems for greater flexibility, ability to manage complex inventory levels and better outcomes for our customers. Other benefits include:
- 50% reduction in variable costs
- 10% improvement in order accuracy
- 60% reduction in inventory wastage
- 80% reduction in staff training times at the site-level
- 50% improvement in inventory efficiency
Adaptive technology
Our modular technology solutions are small, flexible and scalable and can be added to an existing warehouse to enhance operations, reduce costs and improve safety. There are several types of automation that can be deployed in this category, including collaborative robots, robotic arms, scanners and wearable-vision tech. These support various functions throughout the warehouse from picking and engraving to identifying products.
Startup time in days to weeks
- Cobots drive 2x increase in productivity
- Goods-to-person robots increase productivity by 4x
