Third Wave Automation

"What would you do....?" It's a common challenge we hear about and with traditional systems, it can result in costing more time and money. "What would you do if your autonomous system was given a task by your #WMS to move a pallet, from one location to another location...but that location was full?" Thanks to the Shared Autonomy Platform and Armada Fleet Management System, our solution offers four modes of operation. ✔ Fully Autonomous ✔ Remote Operation ✔ Remote Assistance ✔ Manual Operation For the challenge above, Remote Assistance is the right solve. → Watch the video below and hear directly from Matt Willis (Head of Product) as he explains the difference between traditional systems and the value Remote Assistance from #ArmadaFMS brings. ----------------------------------------- Want to learn more without a sales pitch? 1.

Warehouse automation isn't just about technology. It's about strategy. As we dive deeper into the world of automation, one crucial decision that stands before us is choosing between RaaS (Robotics as a Service) and CAPEX (Capital Expenditure). For those navigating the nuances of supply chain management, this choice can shape your operational efficiency. Let's break it down: Upfront Costs → CAPEX requires significant initial investment in robotics and infrastructure. → RaaS allows you to avoid upfront costs by paying for the service as you use it. Flexibility → RaaS offers scalability to meet fluctuating demands without the need for additional capital. → CAPEX provides ownership but can be less flexible as demands change over time. Technological Upgrades → With RaaS, you benefit from ongoing updates and maintenance. → CAPEX might mean bearing the cost of future upgrades. Risk Management → RaaS transfers the risk of obsolescence to the service provider. → With CAPEX, the risk remains with the owner. ROI and Adoption → RaaS can offer faster ROI due to lower initial costs and quicker deployment. → CAPEX might take longer to see returns due to higher initial expenditure. Consider your company's needs and growth strategy. Are you equipped for the long-term commitment of CAPEX, or do you prefer the adaptability of RaaS? Evaluate which model aligns with your business goals and operational dynamics. How does your company approach this decision?

TWA founder and CEO, Arshan Poursohi will be speaking at Yazaki's CEO Rountable at #CES2025 on January 8, 2025. The event will showcase innovative solutions and foster discussions on industry trends.

Is your supply chain feeling the pressure in 2024? With demand fluctuations and labor shortages, it’s been a year of challenges. But there’s a silver lining. Let’s talk about labor productivity and how it can redefine your supply chain in 2025. Imagine this: You boost your pallet throughput per person by 800%. Sounds impossible? It’s not. Here's a practical approach to achieving this: Embrace Automation → Automation isn’t just about replacing human labor; it's about enhancing it. → Equip your workforce with automated tools that multiply their efficiency. → Our highreach forklifts, combined with remote operator stations, are a perfect example. Optimize Workflow → Analyze your current processes and identify bottlenecks. → Streamline operations to ensure smooth workflow and reduce downtime. Leverage Machine Learning → Machine learning can predict demand and optimize inventory levels. → Use these insights to make informed decisions, reducing waste and increasing throughput. Invest in Training → Equip your workforce with the skills needed to operate and manage automated systems. → Training ensures a seamless transition from traditional methods to modern automation. Monitor and Adjust → Continuously monitor performance metrics and make necessary adjustments. → Flexibility is key to maintaining high efficiency levels. By focusing on these strategies, the 800% increase in labor productivity doesn’t just remain a theoretical aspiration. It becomes a tangible reality. Efficiency and productivity are within reach. And remember, it’s not just about adopting new tools, but about creating harmony between technology and human expertise. How are you enhancing productivity in your supply chain?

"We've taken #LiDAR SLAM to the next level" For TWA Reach autonomous forklifts, being able to "see" is key to safe and efficient operation. Using automotive-grade 3D LiDAR enabled vision, they can even see around the corner and other areas that a manual operator cannot. ✔ LiDAR (light detection and ranging) ✔ SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) While other solutions may use 2D, the benefit of 3D is that our TWA Reach uses all 128 planes, maximizing millions of data points, and allowing for seamless navigation in dynamic environments. → Hear how our Director of Sales Nic Temple highlights the benefits of not just navigation, but also reduced costs. ----------------------------------------- Want to learn more without a sales pitch? 1.
