Industrial IoT-based Smart Robotic Warehouse Management System

In response to the advent of emerging Industry 4.0 technologies such as autonomous robots, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), cloud computing, PolyU collaborates with industrial partner to develop an IIoT-based Smart Robotic Warehouse Management System for implementing the concept of smart warehousing. The project redefined warehouse picking and replenishment operations from man-to-goods to goods-to-man using autonomous mobile robots. It is believed that the implementation of this system can change the logistics operations from labour intensive procedures to automation. It also provides solutions for better floor space utilization, labour utilization, and operational efficiency in warehousing.
