Did you know that every day in the world, more than 5 billion pallets make their way through warehouses? Yet, a lot of this movement still is dependent upon obsolete manual forklift operations resulting in inefficiencies, escalated labor costs, and huge safety risks. This is where companies have redefined warehouse operations with autonomous robotic forklifts looking to increase safety, and productivity, and reduce costs.
However, even the most advanced systems need a solid infrastructure to fully perform. At Bridgera, we specialize in making scalable IoT solution that provides live monitoring, preventive maintenance, and continuous optimization capabilities.
What Potential Issues Lie Ahead?
As these organisations continue innovating and scaling, several common challenges may arise, particularly when managing fleets of robotic forklifts.
- Scaling IoT Solutions: With a growing fleet of robotic forklifts comes the need for a scalable, efficient IoT solution that tracks performance, diagnoses problems, and maximizes uptime.
- Lack of Real-Time Visibility: Robotic forklifts are an expensive asset and hence, there is a difficulty in keeping things efficient without real-time visibility into their performance. It leads to costly downtime.
- IoT Solution Development: Gap in Skills To monitor the assets, the business will have to build and scale custom IoT solutions, requiring specialized technical expertise, which is typically not in-house.
- Predictive Maintenance & Optimization: Strong predictive maintenance should prevent sudden failures and ensure low downtime in operations.
We understand these problems and have devised specific solutions for you to enhance your operations while maximizing the functionality of your forklift robot.
