Design and Development of Autonomous Warehouse Management Robot with Intelligent Software Framework

Abstract

The autonomous warehouse robot plays a vital role in maintaining the supply chain for the product supply business and maintaining the supply chain from beginning to end. Demand for autonomous warehouse management robots that can interact with each other without human intervention, is rapidly increasing. These autonomous warehouse management robots help us to main a warehouse which consists of thousands of thousands of cartons or cargos in an authorized and systematic way. This paper describes the improvements that can be made to the present-day conventional warehouse management system where the robots will be controlled by humans. This work, explains how to design an Automated guided vehicle, such as self-driving forklifts where it can transport the inventory from one place to another place within the warehouse and the dealers and consumers can access the products by an application like an E-commerce application where the merchant can sell their goods and consumers can order the products that they want. All the prominent tasks in the inventory system such as order tracking, shipment, picker routing, order picking system, and storage slotting are discussed in this paper. So, this system provides fast, efficient, and robust inventory management.
