Manhattan Associates Creates New Program to Advance Warehouse Robotics and Automation
May 21 2019 - 4:01PM
Manhattan Associates Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH) today announced the launch
of the Manhattan Automation Network, a program designed to speed
the development and implementation of modern distribution center
automation and robotics in partnership with leading warehouse
automation solution providers. The program is designed to deliver
joint solution design, integration touchpoints and implementation
approaches between the industry’s leading warehouse management
solution and innovative robotics providers. The Manhattan
Automation Network is launching with five inaugural members:
Kindred AI, Locus Robotics, Matthews Automation Solutions, Right
Hand Robotics and VCO Systems.
The recent growth of omnichannel retail and a shortage of
warehouse workers due to the healthy employment market is putting
tremendous pressure on distribution centers. As a result, many
warehouses are aggressively adopting automation and robotics
solutions to supplement their human workforces. However,
integrating the workflows between these automated solutions and
human workers, other automated solutions and other distribution
center software can be difficult and expensive.
The Manhattan Automation Network is designed to reduce the cost
and complexity of adopting warehouse automation solutions. It
provides pre-built integrated flows and a proactive certification
process to ensure that Manhattan WMS customers gain the advantage
of prebuilt integration as a strong starting point to their
automation projects, leading to a significant reduction in overall
project costs.
This new program builds on Manhattan’s more than 25 years of
successful integration projects inside some of the world’s most
automated distribution centers. In this time, the company has
developed and refined integration capabilities that drive faster,
less costly implementations. Manhattan is also the first company to
embed a warehouse execution system (WES) within a WMS that quickly
and seamlessly orchestrates workflows across the full spectrum of
distribution center resources.
“Robotics and automation are having a more pronounced role in
today’s distribution center operations,” said Adam Kline, senior
director of Product Management for Manhattan Associates. “Manhattan
Associates is dedicated to helping our clients continue to
innovate, advance their supply chain capabilities and stay ahead of
market trends. We are proud to partner with many of the world’s
leading automation and robotics providers to help our users enhance
their operations and embrace opportunity.”
The Manhattan Automation Network program is being unveiled this
week at Momentum 2019, Manhattan Associates’ annual customer
conference. A number of Manhattan Automated Network partners are
showcasing their solutions at the event and will participate in a
panel discussion about how the latest robotic and automated
solutions are redefining the modern warehouse.
