As businesses grow, the complexity and volume of tasks in warehouses and fulfillment centers increase. Team Intelligence provides a scalable solution that can easily adapt to growing operational demands without a proportional increase in labor costs. Team Intelligence is an automation workflow in the Zebra Symmetry™ Fulfillment solution that unlocks higher levels of efficiency and productivity by maximizing the performance of both humans and robots working collaboratively.
Zebra Symmetry software receives order information from the WMS and assigns work to teams of pickers and robots. Pickers are guided by wearable devices that allow them to leverage multiple autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in a precise, optimized path. AMRs pre-position themselves where and when they are needed, ensuring that the right robot is exactly where the worker needs it to be for each pick. The result is a true team approach that maximizes pick density and productivity.
Most AMR fleets prioritize robots over human workers. With Team Intelligence, you get a more balanced solution that optimizes your cost per unit picked by boosting the throughput, accuracy and efficiency of people and robots.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of how the Team Intelligence workflow operates:
By leveraging these elements, Team Intelligence helps create a highly efficient and productive workflow that benefits from the strengths of both human workers and advanced AMRs.
Swarm systems work by coordinating a group of AMRs to collectively perform a task. The robots make decisions as a swarm. Although swarm environments allow robots to divide work and adapt to changes, they’re notoriously chaotic and confusing for human workers. Because swarm environments use a zone-based strategy, the allocation of work is often unbalanced, leading to underutilized humans and/or robots. And, a Swarm solution often relies on reaching critical mass with robots, or in some cases, adding extra robots to a system, even when efficiencies are impaired.
Team Intelligence overcomes these challenges by helping pickers and robots work more efficiently. The workflow is more precise and typically requires fewer robots, maximizing utilization. Wearable technology provides the picker with a clear, directed workflow that identifies each robot they need to interact with. AMR travel is also optimized to ensure the right robot is in the ideal location when the picker arrives.
“Follow me” AMRs are designed for a single picker, where the picker follows the robot and can only interact with one robot at a time. As a result, throughput is limited by the robot’s speed. Mediocre workers have no incentive to be more productive; and those with higher throughput potential are held back.
By contrast, Team Intelligence enables a “one-to-many” workflow that makes the most effective use of pickers and robots. This boosts the speeds of average workers while enabling your most efficient pickers to be even more productive.
Team Intelligence is designed to be simple and intuitive, allowing a typical operator to learn it in just a few minutes. A durable, lightweight wearable computer directs the picker to the precise location. The worker then uses a ring scanner to scan the shelf or rack, the item(s) picked and confirm the put location on the robot. This streamlined process reduces training time while enhancing efficiency and accuracy in picking operations.
Yes. More than 80% of warehouse associates say they feel more valued when their employers add collaborative automation. Further, 88% of fulfillment industry decision-makers agree that cutting-edge robotics technology can help attract, onboard and retain workers more effectively.
Workers enjoy partnering with AMRs because they boost personal units per hour (UPH) with less walking and effort. Wearable instructions reduce the strain of constant decision-making by breaking pick tasks and walking instructions into segments. Operators also gain agency from the ability to report exceptions, such as items that are too high to reach or too large to fit into the assigned bin, which the system uses to refine upcoming picking tours.
Team Intelligence helps you economize without compromise in three ways:
The Zebra Symmetry Command Center gives decision-making and visibility back to operations leaders. Work can be prioritized quickly based on changing conditions, backed by real-time tracking of every picker, robot, tote and order. Fulfillment analytics deliver valuable insights into the system and picking operation, from current metrics to historical trends that can identify bottlenecks and improve future performance.
Zebra Symmetry provides the strategic oversight and real-time data necessary for making informed decisions. With Zebra’s Team Intelligence, you can execute decisions at the operational level by optimizing the workflows of human workers and robots, leading to a highly efficient and responsive warehouse environment.
