Installing in Q1 of this year, Onward's person-to-goods automation solution will enhance DM's distribution flow and management of goods, supporting the 3PL's ability to process orders quickly and maintain its impressive record of delivering 99.98% order accuracy. Onward Robotics' unique Meet Me model decouples the work of fulfillment associates and Lumabot AMRs, allowing each to function as independent agents of the overall system. Proprietary Pyxis technology uses intelligent mission planning and dynamic labor balancing to optimize task management: reducing unproductive travel time, increasing flexibility, and delivering the capacity to move more orders, more efficiently.
"DM is committed to remaining on the forefront of innovation by implementing cutting-edge automation and robotic technologies that drive operational excellence for our customers," said Rick Goe, SVP of Supply Chain Management at Distribution Management. "Onward's Meet Me solution is an intelligent, scalable, and flexible way to increase efficiency and optimize order-picking workflows in our fulfillment centers."
"DM has an established history of order fulfillment and inventory management innovation, and we're proud they've recognized Onward's Meet Me solution as the breakthrough industry leader in automated order fulfillment," said Onward Robotics CEO Lance VandenBrook. "Onward is committed to helping DM and its customers gain efficiency and flexibility in their supply chain operations, and we're looking forward to shared successes and future innovation with the DM team."
