As we continue to innovate and push the boundaries of warehouse automation, we anticipate several exciting developments for the URBX system:
Advanced Human-Robot Collaboration: Development of more sophisticated interfaces and safety systems to enhance cooperation between URBX robots and human workers.
Implementing a cutting-edge ASRS like URBX requires more than just installing new hardware; it demands a holistic approach and analysis to your entire facility’s workflow both upstream and downstream.
This is where Integrated Systems Design (ISD) excels as the premier integrator for URBX ASRS systems. With ISD’s extensive experience in warehouse automation and deep understanding of the URBX technology, ISD brings a unique perspective to the implementation process. ISD doesn’t just focus on the ASRS as a “black box” system; instead, ISD takes a comprehensive view of your entire operation, ensuring that the URBX system seamlessly integrates with your existing processes and technologies.
ISD’s expertise lies in their meticulous approach to analyzing, designing, and planning. They carefully analyze your current workflows, identify potential bottlenecks, and design optimized pathways for inventory movement both into and out of the URBX system. This attention to detail extends beyond the ASRS, encompassing your entire facility to create a harmonious and efficient operational ecosystem.
By choosing ISD, you’re not just getting an installer; you’re partnering with a team of experts who will tailor the URBX implementation to your specific needs, maximizing the system’s potential and ensuring that your entire facility reaps the full benefits of this revolutionary technology. The result is a seamlessly integrated, highly efficient warehouse operation that positions your business at the forefront of logistics and warehouse innovation.
The URBX ASRS uses AI-driven TowerBots navigating a three-dimensional grid to store and retrieve totes, reaching up to 125 feet high and holding up to 504,000 totes in maximum configurations.
The URBX AI Coordinator dispatches TowerBots to retrieve totes via the shortest 3D path. TowerBots deliver totes to GridBot robots and conveyor systems that transport them to pick workstations. Completed totes return to storage automatically.
Each TowerBot presents 100 totes per hour (200 transactions/hr) with a 7-second average pick time. Operators achieve up to 500 lines per hour. TowerBots can be added or removed as demand changes.
URBX stacks totes up to 75+ levels high (125 feet) in a double-deep 3D grid. A standard system stores 168,960 totes in approximately 24,025 sq ft; maximum configurations hold 504,000 totes.
URBX delivers totes directly to pick stations, eliminating walking and aisle navigation. AI-driven batching maximizes picks per tote presentation, allowing each operator to process significantly more orders per shift.
URBX serves retail, e-commerce, grocery, 3PL, pharmaceuticals, electronics, automotive, fashion, industrial manufacturing, and aerospace. Totes support up to 100 lbs and heights from 5 to 60 inches.
Built-in redundancy ensures other TowerBots take over automatically if one has an issue. Integration with WMS/WES platforms uses standard protocols, with installation completing in 4 to 8 months.
