Intelligent hardware solutions for the management of automated warehouses

Digitization has transformed warehouse and logistics operations by improving traditional processes with the use of advanced technologies. For warehouse managers and storage environments, these smart technologies have enabled the optimization and automation of internal and external logistics processes, resulting in dramatic improvements in efficiency and reliability.

The difficulties of international logistics caused by the global pandemic and conflicts between nations have dramatically increased the demands for greater automation, digital integration and data sharing from a supply chain perspective. Advantech offers complete packages of hardware solutions for intralogistics and warehouse applications, from on-vehicle terminals to industrial-grade tablets, all-in-one touch computers and boards integrable.

Specific hardware components for the construction of AGV robots

AGV is the acronym for Automated Guided Vehicle, autonomously guided robots for automated storage in warehouses and logistics centers. AGV robots represent a solution that has seen great development in recent decades to improve efficiency in logistics processes.

AGV robots offer several advantages and can move without a pre-set path via a laser guide, able to operate despite low light and allowing for continuous path optimization. The only set-up needed is the preparation of the work area using a specific tape to help the AGV identify its position without the need for GPS or complex algorithms.

What are the advantages of using advanced logistics solutions

Seamless automated cargo handling

Warehouse operations are highly interdependent and complex, involving many people, processes and equipment. Intelligent Hardware Solutions from Advantech enable digitized processing of workstation and forklift operations. This not only minimizes data errors and operational disruptions, but also facilitates the automatic tracking of goods throughout all processes, from storage to picking to delivery.

Real-time digitized inventory management

During all operations, from receiving goods to shipping, process data is collected by connected devices/sensors and exchanged between WMS servers and end devices to facilitate tracking and tracing of goods in real time. With greater inventory visibility, businesses can continuously reconcile current inventory levels with forecasted demands, enabling smarter replenishment and less inventory.

Reliable operation and remote monitoring

Advantech offers industrial-grade hardware solutions that can withstand harsh environments to ensure safe and reliable operations. Device management systems and tools allow businesses to monitor devices and update systems remotely, thus eliminating downtime and reducing maintenance costs.
