Making Warehouse Robotics Work

Improve Decision-Making from Strategy to Real-time Execution

Roboteon provides innovative simulation and modeling tools that enable customers to improve planning and execution across multiple time horizons.

Our vendor-agnostic simulation starts with the ability to easily model a given distribution center, configuring locations, aisles, zones, inventory, etc.

The simulation tool can use actual historical order data or create a profile that mirrors actual order patterns, minimizing IT support requirements.

Planning Support over Multiple Time
Horizons

The simulation tool provides decision support at any time horizon, including:

Strategic/design phase, looking at different combinations of robots and humans, testing assumptions such as the impact of pick rates and more. The output for each scenario includes more than two dozen metrics for various design options, such as total costs, cost per pick, throughput, dwell times and much more. Includes strong support for business case development.

Tactical planning, such as the combination of robots and humans needed to meet each year’s peak season requirements, or a new product introduction.

Operational planning based on real-time data on today’s demand and available resources, adjusting the execution plan automatically based on this insight to ensure SLAs are met (digital twin capabilities).

Roboteon Simulation Differentiators

Robot Vendor-Independent
Use of real-order data or create synthetic data from profile
Real-time digital twin to support short-term decision-making

Applications

System design
Scenario comparisons
Business case support
Warehouse and factory capacity planning
Labor-to-robot transition planning and scaling
Analyzing impact of SKU re-slotting or layout changes
Analyzing zone-based traffic, bottlenecks, and distance traveled

Other Possibilities

Create a Digital Twin: Build a virtual, 3D model of your entire warehouse
Run "What-If" Scenarios: Test new layouts, processes, and equipment without risks
Visualize workflows and Identify Bottlenecks: Pinpoint inefficiencies in material flow, picking, and transport.
Optimize with Confidence: Make structured, data-backed decisions on automation, slotting, staffing, and layout

With Robteon’s modeling and simulation tools, you’ll get the answers you need, from initial system design to optimizing today’s throughput. Let us show you how.
