Measuring large quantities of spatulas, machinery components, bolts, and apparel can be a challenge for order pickers and warehouse operators. Non-uniform shapes are hard to measure, and high turnover and rotating shift workers means you never get consistent measurements on your ever-changing library of SKUs. Inconsistency in measurement and process leads to unreliable master data, and inefficient downstream processes. Enter the Cubiscan 325, an automated object dimensioner and scale.

If you want to reduce inefficiencies in your supply chain, this machine is an excellent starting point. Master data collection, storage, carton selection, and pick and pack are much easier processes with the Cubiscan.

Exploring Mobile Robotics Q&A

Can Locus Robotics integrate with Epicor Eclipse? Yes. We’ve got quite a few customers on Epicor, other older warehouse management systems, and even homegrowns. So as long as the database can communicate with us via SOAP, REST sockets or a few other protocols, we can integrate with that solution.

What are some of the hiccups and issues with robotics deployment that you have had to deal with in the past? One thing we find is what we put into operation on go live, day one doesn’t always look the same on subsequent days. Our team stays there, designs, develops, and changes onsite to make it work even better. Many of the issues arise from peer training. Users don’t always understand how to work with our bots. So we will spend a lot of extra time on training. Another aspect is is warehouse hygiene- making sure the warehouse has clean floors and organized aisles for AMRs to pass through. Things of that nature.

In a span of ten years, over 90%^[1] of medical facilities nationwide have switched from paper-based tracking to automated systems, yet patient identification problems continue to persist in the digitized era. Researchers at the ECRI Institute suggest that technology may be responsible for as much as 15%^[2] of patient misidentification errors occurring predominantly at the patient’s bedside. Several technical issues may be to blame, including:

• Poorly printed identification wristbands
• Complicated or “buggy” tracking software
• Lack of available devices
• Devices incapable of capturing data without line of sight
