Warehouse Automation

Optimize Your Warehouse Operations with ABOT Automated Box Opening Technology
In the fast-paced world of Retail, Wholesale, Omnichannel and eCommerce fulfillment, the need for efficient and safe box opening has never been more critical. The ABOT Automated Box Opening system, equipped with a six-axis robot, advanced 3D LiDAR vision, and intelligent warehouse control software, is the ultimate solution for optimizing your warehouse operations

Why Automated Box
Opening is Essential?

  • Exponential Volume Demand for Box Opening:
    Fulfillment centers now require nearly 100% of master packs to be opened, up from the traditional 2-4% 10 years ago.
  • Critical Workflow Management:
    Receiving has become a crucial inventory management process, with decisions for allocation occurring at the receiving stage.
  • Immediate Integration:
    Contents must be allocated immediately into automated fulfillment systems, reducing the need for double handling.

What are the Industry Drivers
for Automated Box Opening?

  • Automate Replenishment:
    Streamline the replenishment process from receiving to shipping, improving workflow efficiency.
  • Decanting Process:
    Include decanting in receiving processes to avoid unnecessary handling, enhancing overall productivity.
  • Increased Facility Throughput:
    Opening boxes is now a parallel function and reduces duration for the entire facility.
  • Reduced Space Requirements 50-80%:
    ABOT’s 9.5 ft. x 8.5 ft. space requirement replaces 5-8 manual processing stations for box opening and the additional conveyor required.
  • End-to-End Automation:
    Allows the operation to automate the entire process from receiving to Goods To Operator (GTO) systems, ensuring seamless, accurate receiving to shipping processes.
  • Eliminate Corrugate:
    Reduce corrugate waste within the facility, minimizing cleanup efforts and expensive trash removal equipment (conveyor systems) costs.
  • Ergonomic and Safety Benefits:
    Manual box opening is ergonomically repetitive, demanding and prone to injuries. ABOT eliminates these risks, improving worker safety.
  • Work Retention:
    Worker retention is very low for manual box opening because it is not a desirable job and highly inefficient.

What are the Key Features of ABOT Automated Box Opening that improve operations?

  • Advanced LiDAR Imaging:
    Utilizes Point Cloud technology to precisely measure and size incoming boxes, automatically programming exact cut contours, specifically on slightly damaged boxes that still need to be opened with automation.
    • No Batch Restrictions: Boxes can be fed in any size order or mix, enhancing rate efficiency.
    • Opens Mis-shaped or Damaged Cases: Master Cases & Boxes are designed to protect inner pack product and by nature get damaged doing so, ABOT Precision LiDAR Imaging recognizes these anomalies and easily opens damaged cases.
    • High Volume Capability: Opens up to 1,050 boxes per hour, the highest volume in the industry.
  • Autonomous Robotic System:
    Can be fed by self-aligning conveyor, Autonomous Mobile Robot, or manual induction.
  • Six-Axis Robot:
    Ensures precision and accuracy for all box sizes with advanced learning and data capture through AI modules and can be easily updates with latest advancements.
  • Precision and Accuracy
    • Servo Clamping Box Stabilizer: Maintains box stability during cutting, ensuring structural integrity.
    • Advanced Cameras: Provide precise box opening with real-time data capture.
  • Ease of Operation and Maintenance
    • Large Integrated Touch Screen HMI: 21” x 18” for easy operation and management.
    • Automatic Blade Changing: Touchless blade change and Tool changers inside housing for ultimate operator safety and zero operational downtime.
    • Compact Footprint: 110” x 124” footprint, the lowest in the industry.
  • Handles boxes from:
    Handles boxes from:
    • 8” L x 6” W x 2.5” H to 30” L x 23” W x 25” H
    • Oversized options up to 40” L available.
  • Real-Time Diagnostics
    • 24/7 video monitoring for remote diagnostics and management, ensuring continuous operation and preventative maintenance schedule.
