Logic Robotics last week highlighted the Logic Pallet, a multi-facility robot for logistics and material handling.
“Logic Pallet is designed to automate and unify the movement of goods between and within facilities, delivering true end-to-end automation and supporting a fully autonomous, data-driven, and sustainable global supply chain,” said the Waltham, Mass.-based company.
Logic Robotics said it combines patented robotics, orchestration software, and expert implementation to automate the movement of palletized goods across supply chain modes without manual intervention. The company claimed that its systems are engineered for reliability, scalability, and easy integration.
Logic added that its autonomous mobile robots (AMR) connect warehousing, transportation, and inventory management. The AMRs can optimize productivity, reduce costs, and future-proof operations in industries ranging from consumer packaged goods (CPG) and food to government and space logistics, said the company.
Logic Pallet is made in the U.S.
The Logic Pallet is currently in production in the U.S. The robot has features a payload capacity of 2,000 lb. (907 kg) and a 160-hour battery life.
Logic Robotics said it built the 48 x 40 in. (121.9 x 101.6 cm) AMR to handle boxed consumer goods and food. The Logic Pallet can replace traditional pallets and forklifts entirely, the company claimed.
Unlike conventional shipping pallets, the Logic Pallet is a self-driving, self-loading, and self-unloading robotic platform. It functions as an in-facility shuttle for various standard-sized pallets. The AMR can support automated movement to storage, pick, and retrieval positions, maximizing both warehouse density and operator productivity.
Designed for versatility, the Logic Pallet supports high-density, aisleless storage in order to deliver up to three times the storage capacity of traditional warehouse configurations. The system can move at 2.2 mph (1 m/s), ensuring timely and consistent transport of goods across facilities, said Logic Robotics.
The company’s offerings include mobile robots, picking robots, and lifts. It also offers AI, digital twins, and fulfillment software.
AMR uses Logic Robotics’ LINK software
Orchestrated by LINK, Logic’s dynamic AI-integrated warehouse operating system, Logic Pallets can optimize real-time storage and retrieval in any shaped space.
With autonomous stacking, return for reuse, and advanced self-navigation capabilities, the Logic Pallet can reduce operational downtime, labor dependency, and waste, asserted Logic Robotics.
It also features a patented weight-based inventory management system for on-demand cycle counting, along with automated item recognition via Item Master to provide real-time inventory insights, reducing manual labor and eliminating costly errors.
By fully automating functions like consolidation, deconsolidation, and cross-docking, Logic said its new system can automate inbound and outbound logistics. Additionally, rapid goods-to-person (G2P) shuttle functionality enables faster picking and order fulfillment. Logic said its robots can load or unload a full trailer in just five minutes.
