Phased robotic deployment for Building 3, reducing pick costs by 73% while maintaining current throughput during transition.
Building 3 runs 5,000 picks/day with 22 manual pickers across 2 shifts. Turnover is 140% annually. Training costs $3,200 per new hire. Error rate is 2.1%.
12 Acme R3 robots covering all 6 zones. AI-optimized pick paths. Human pickers handle exceptions only. Full WMS integration via REST API.
Q4 volume spike is 8 weeks away. At current turnover, you'll be 6 pickers short. Temp agencies are quoting $28/hr for warehouse staff.
73% reduction in cost-per-pick ($0.45 to $0.12). Error rate drops to 0.3%. Full fleet operational before Q4 peak.
3D mapping, WMS integration spec, zone planning. 1 week.
4 robots in Zone A. Validate throughput, accuracy, safety. 2 weeks.
Remaining 8 robots across Zones B-F. Staff retraining. 3 weeks.
AI route tuning, exception handling refinement. Ongoing.
