SOFTBOT Platform: Unify WMS, robotics, and more in one dashboard

The 2nd rule of automation: respect 80/20 I saw a recent post from Brightpick's @janz1zka that nails something crucial about warehouse automation - Getting to 80% automation? Challenging but doable. - The final 20%? Exponentially harder and more expensive Edge cases everywhere - requiring increasingly complex solutions. The breakthrough insight: Don't push to automate 100%... instead, 'cheat' and find ways to meet your goals Brightpick's approach is brilliant: 🌙 Robots own the night shift completely 📦 Pick what they can, stage what they struggle with ☀️ Humans handle edge cases in the morning 🚀 Result: Extra capacity without extra cost Sometimes the smartest automation strategy is knowing when to work around the problem instead of through it.

♾️ RoboShuttle V4.0 is built for continuous improvement, not just to automate but to keep getting better as your operations grow. Here’s what makes it stand 'tall': ✅ Lightweight design → faster, more agile movement ✅ Double-sided, double-deep picking → higher storage density ✅ Lower floor requirements → easier deployment ✅ No rack modifications → seamless integration And it keeps getting better. RoboShuttle V4.0 evolves with your operations with ongoing upgrades like RS Air that boost throughput, reliability, and uptime across fleet sizes. From software updates to robot enhancements, it’s designed for iterative growth, not rigid replacements. RoboShuttle V4.0 One system. Multi-agent. Continuous improvement, built in. #WarehouseAutomation #OrderFulfillment #Logistics #SupplyChain #Robotics

🚀 In tech & business conversations, we often hear terms like POC, POV, and POT. While they sound similar, each serves a unique purpose. Let’s simplify: 🔹 POC (Proof of Concept) 👉 Definition: A small exercise to test if an idea or solution is technically feasible. 👉 Example: Testing whether a robot can successfully pick and place a tote. 👉 When to Use: Early stage — to validate “Can this work at all?” 🔹 POV (Proof of Value) 👉 Definition: Demonstrates the business impact of the solution, not just technical feasibility. 👉 Example: Showing that using AMRs reduces warehouse labor costs by 30%. 👉 When to Use: After POC — to answer “Is it worth the investment?” 🔹 POT (Proof of Technology) 👉 Definition: A test to ensure the chosen technology can work at scale, reliability, and integration levels. 👉 Example: Checking whether 100+ robots can integrate with WMS and operate smoothly in live operations. 👉 When to Use: Before full-scale rollout — to confirm “Can this technology scale in real-world scenarios?” ✨ In short: POC → Feasibility POV → Value POT → Scalability These steps ensure organizations make smart, data-driven decisions before committing to large investments. #POC #POV #POT #Innovation #Technology #DigitalTransformation #Business #growth #AMR #Warehouse #automation #ROBOTICS

From weeks of training to hours of onboarding. Rolling out new technology usually takes time for teams to adjust. Radial Inc. discovered a different outcome. 👇 In this clip below, David Welsh of Radial shares how intuitive automation tools reduced training from weeks to hours. Faster onboarding meant quicker adoption and stronger productivity from the start. That’s just one way Radial is scaling fulfillment robots across multiple sites. 🔊 Hear the full story on Warehouse Automation Matters: https://lnkd.in/dxHg_NMq #WarehouseAutomation #SupplyChainManagement #WarehouseManagement

Check out “Count Rackula" in The Times today! Just wrapped up a fantastic conversation with Richard Tyler about the journey from testing our first prototype in a London office stairwell to deploying 15-meter-tall robots across warehouses worldwide. The piece captures something I’m passionate about: Data transformation happening inside every warehouse robotics tech touches. Half a billion scans and counting. By November, we’ll hit a billion, making us the most comprehensive dataset of warehouse operations in the world. But here’s what gets me most excited: when customers find £250,000 of lost stock they’d written off, that wasn’t just recovered inventory. That was proof that real-time visibility changes everything. The article dives into our journey from Bots & Us to Dexory, the pivot during the pandemic, and why we chose to build hardware when everyone said software was the smarter play. Spoiler: sometimes the longer, harder path is the one that sticks. Huge thanks to The Times for spotlighting not just our tech, but the broader shift happening in logistics. When warehouse operations move from guesswork to ground truth, that’s when scale becomes sustainable. The full article is live now, link in the comments.

Most companies expect warehouse robotics to deliver massive gains—fast. But there’s a catch almost nobody talks about. The timeline. Everyone loves the idea of automation that claims massive (and sometimes unrealistic) productivity. But in reality, most solutions involve complex integrations, long training periods, and months before you see results. Here’s what’s often missing in the conversation: You can deliver real ROI fast—but only if you look at the right metrics and find the right approach. At Robust.AI, we started from a different place. We built a solution you can deploy fast—even without deep integrations—so you see productivity gains right away. And we tie our model to clear, de-risked outcomes: guaranteed productivity rates, not just promises. Here’s what I wish more companies asked: - Can you pilot and scale fast, or are you stuck in endless rollouts? - Do you have guaranteed outcomes, or just best guesses? - Is your ROI based only on cost savings, or are you measuring real productivity delivered every single day? Short-term results matter. But the companies that actually transform their operations see both the immediate gains and the long-term benefits. Sometimes, the fastest payback isn’t the best payback. What matters is de-risking the path to real results. That’s the only timeline that counts.

The more robots you add, the harder it gets—unless your interface strategy is built to scale. It’s common for shop floors to evolve with robot and machine pairings selected ad hoc—each tailored to the moment, each with its own protocol, UI, and data quirks. Often this process is repeated in the following years with containerized success but the result is a fragmented landscape of systems that don’t talk or scale well. This patchwork approach creates real pain: steep learning curves, inconsistent data and complex maintenance and persistent training challenges. MX Interface standardizes robot-to-machine communication across your floor. Every integration follows a shared logic - meaning robots can interact with ANY machine. Every device delivers consistent, structured data. It’s not just about easier training or uptime—it’s about making performance measurable and automation sustainable as well as scalable.

Automated messages aren’t about being “robotic.” They’re about making sure every guest feels looked after—without you needing to type the same answers 100 times. #HospitalityTips #SmallBusinessLife #BNBsuccess #DigitalOnecore #Docflow
