Automation can support a range of logistics activities, from goods-to-person to “order-to-person” picking. At the 2024 International Logistics Technology Exhibition, or CeMAT Australia 2024, Syrius Robotics Co. showed multiple mobile robots and marked its entry into the Australian market.
“Picking is a critical component of the warehousing and logistics process, directly influencing operational efficiency and overall costs,” stated Syrius Technology. “By leveraging human-machine collaboration and zone picking, Syrius Technology’s solution comprehensively reduces costs and boosts efficiency across the warehouse.
At the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Beijing-based company demonstrated its research-and-development capabilities, its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and its vision for helping enterprises to be globally competitive.
Exhibit shows different picking models
Syrius Technology said it has designed its order-to-person picking system for high flexibility and easy deployment, catering to diverse multi-item and multi-scenario requirements. The company claimed that it is adaptable to business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) models across various industries. It also said it can “significantly” enhance efficiency for small, midsize, and mixed-size items, as well as midsize to large items.
Syrius added that its AMR “relay picking” model facilitates “one person to multiple machines” and “multiple machines to multiple people” human-machine collaborative picking. This approach significantly reduces unnecessary walking for pickers and lowers labor intensity, it said.
At CeMAT, the company demonstrated its FlexPorter and FlexSwift Max AMRs. It exhibited label picking for medium items and piece picking and restocking for small-to-midsize items.
Syrius said its AMRs are equipped with advanced sensing, decision-making, and navigation systems to handle complex environments. In addition, it asserted that these robots can be deployed within two weeks without requiring modifications to existing warehouses.
Syrius plans global expansion
Syrius Technology said its products’ strong reputation in international markets helped attract visitors and buyers to meetings at CeMAT as it entered the Australian market. It previously exhibited at CeMAT South East Asia in Singapore in May.
Syrius said it aims “to establish a strong foothold in the Australian market with its professional and reliable products, cutting-edge technology, and comprehensive services. The company is poised to continually earn trust and reputation through successful customer projects.”
In November 2023, Syrius collaborated with SoftBank Robotics and IRIS OHYAMA to launch a new commercial cleaning robot. The company offers its products in a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model.
