Honeywell and Teradyne partner to automate material movement and amplify automation initiatives
Honeywell and Teradyne Robotics Partner to Revolutionize Material Handling Automation
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Honeywell and Teradyne Robotics have joined forces to deliver advanced material handling automation systems designed to optimize logistics, warehousing, and consumer goods operations.
The Power of Autonomous Mobile Robots and Cobots
At the heart of this partnership lies Teradyne Robotics' portfolio of infrastructure-free autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and collaborative robots (cobots). The MiR1200 Pallet Jack, for instance, is an AI-driven AMR that uses a perception system to navigate large warehouse facilities, significantly increasing throughput by reducing pick-and-place times. Teradyne Robotics' cobots operate safely alongside human workers, enhancing productivity without the need for extensive reprogramming or setup.
Scalable and Adaptive Automation with Honeywell's Momentum WES
Honeywell's Momentum warehouse execution software (WES) plays a crucial role in this partnership. This sophisticated software allows businesses to adapt flexibly to shifting demand and orchestrate interoperability across diverse robotic systems. This ensures seamless scaling of automation solutions without disruption, enabling continuous optimization of material flow and process efficiency.
Boosting Productivity and Reducing Costs
The integration of Teradyne’s robotic platforms with Honeywell’s software significantly boosts operational productivity by automating labor-intensive tasks, reducing cycle times, and optimizing material transport routes. This leads to substantial reductions in operational costs across distribution centers and warehouses.
Improving Worker Safety
By automating material handling and transport, these systems reduce the need for manual intervention in potentially hazardous tasks such as heavy pallet movement, thereby improving workplace safety and lowering injury risk.
Advanced AI and Software Coordination
Teradyne’s AI-enabled robotics apply smart routing and motion optimization, supported by Honeywell’s warehouse execution software, to move goods quickly and accurately, minimizing delays and enhancing throughput.
Easy Deployment and Integration
Teradyne Robotics’ solutions are designed to be easy to deploy and program, reducing the complexity and time required for implementation. Honeywell complements this with cybersecurity and integrated services, ensuring a robust and secure automation ecosystem.
A Transformative Partnership
The Honeywell and Teradyne Robotics partnership leverages a combination of highly autonomous, AI-driven robots and intelligent warehouse software to deliver scalable, adaptive, and efficient material handling automation tailored for logistics, warehousing, and consumer goods industries across the Americas and Europe.
