ORCHESTRATION AS THE CRITICAL FACTOR OF THROUGHPUT IN AUTOMATED WAREHOUSES

The position of this paper, grounded in operations, solution design experience, and in-depth analytics, is that the modern automated facility operates within a fundamentally new paradigm. Highly automated systems are paralyzed by the lack of real-time decision making, mis-sequenced task assignments, unbalanced workloads, serialized flows, and unmitigated contention for SKUs and shared automation resources.
