When used for warehouse processes like picking, packing and sortation, automation and robotic systems are reducing travel time, increasing pick&nbsp;speed&nbsp;and mitigating the impact of a variable labor market on warehouse workforces. The result is higher throughput, increased&nbsp;productivity&nbsp;and stronger SLA performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For warehouse operators that are hesitant to take the plunge into automating key processes in their facilities, the question&nbsp;isn\u2019t&nbsp;whether automation has value; it\u2019s whether&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;worth the risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-automation-feels-riskier-than-ever-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Automation Feels Riskier Than Ever&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Risk avoidance is a common sentiment&nbsp;we\u2019re&nbsp;hearing from today\u2019s warehouse operators, and for good reason. Pressures from above, capital scrutiny and fear of making the wrong decision and being stuck with misaligned technology are causing some leaders to avoid committing to new automation technology altogether.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some warehouse leaders are&nbsp;operating&nbsp;today with goods-to-person (GTP)&nbsp;systems from a decade ago that&nbsp;aren\u2019t&nbsp;delivering results. Others have spent millions of dollars on a new,&nbsp;state-of-the-art&nbsp;robotic system that&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;integrate&nbsp;well with their other systems and processes&nbsp;and&nbsp;hasn\u2019t&nbsp;generated any ROI.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most operators, when automation&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;deliver the expected or desired results, the first inclination is to blame the hardware. While&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;easy to assume that the system itself is the problem,&nbsp;there\u2019s&nbsp;a much more&nbsp;prevalent&nbsp;risk&nbsp;driver&nbsp;of&nbsp;unsuccessful warehouse robotics deployments:&nbsp;<strong>organizational misalignment<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-real-risk-behind-automation-projects-misalignment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Real Risk Behind Automation Projects \u2013 Misalignment&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warehouse automation\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0operate\u00a0in a vacuum. The system you implement\u00a0needs\u00a0to be able to communicate with everything else in four walls; that means all people,\u00a0processes\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0technology. Here are a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/why-automation-projects-fail-it-s-not-the-robots--73014178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common pitfalls we see in automation projects <\/a>that are completely unrelated to the hardware\u00a0itself, yet\u00a0put go-live success at a significant risk.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-automating-bad-processes-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automating Bad Processes&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number one rule when implementing warehouse automation is this:&nbsp;<em>do not automate a bad process.<\/em>&nbsp;Throwing automation at operational challenges, like lack of labor or missed SLAs, without the proper foundation or alignment across the four walls,&nbsp;is a huge risk driver. To provide the most value, automation needs to be implemented strategically<em>,<\/em><strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>with a specific use case and goal in mind.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>How to reduce your risk:<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before anything else,&nbsp;perform&nbsp;a detailed audit of the existing people, processes and technology within the facility and map&nbsp;out how automation will enter collaboratively into that setup. Ask yourself questions like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What problem&nbsp;is it&nbsp;solving and why is it the best solution to that problem?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What processes are already underperforming?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where are there existing functional and technological gaps that need to be resolved before integrating a new system?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-making-software-and-hardware-decisions-independently-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making Software and Hardware Decisions Independently&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The success of warehouse robotics is highly dependent upon the orchestration software that drives them. Many warehouse operators think having a WMS and WCS already in place automatically means that the software infrastructure is ready for automation, but that&nbsp;isn\u2019t&nbsp;often the case. For many warehouses with poor automation ROI, we notice something in common: a&nbsp;disconnect in communication&nbsp;between automation,&nbsp;robotics&nbsp;and orchestration software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few reasons this can happen:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Warehouses are&nbsp;operating&nbsp;on a WMS that was never meant to orchestrate advanced automation and robotics.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A robotic selection is made before consulting an integrator and without considering what software constraints may arise.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is no organization-wide definition of success prior to selecting and integrating&nbsp;the robotics.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>How to reduce your risk:<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to prepare the infrastructure before selecting and integrating a new robotic&nbsp;system. Ask yourself questions like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What software will be orchestrating the new automated system?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is the necessary infrastructure already in&nbsp;place&nbsp;or does it need to be implemented?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How will my other existing systems interact with the new one, and do I have the infrastructure to support that?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-a-strong-vendor-integrator-partnership-actually-does-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a Strong Vendor\u2013Integrator Partnership Actually Does&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A strong&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.com\/en-au\/blog\/beyond-the-bot-the-key-role-of-integrators-in-amr-deployment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vendor\u2013integrator relationship<\/a>&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;just make implementation easier; it makes&nbsp;every other&nbsp;decision easier&nbsp;too. Most warehouse operators are struggling to automate because they&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;know where to start. Having the right vendor-integrator partnership replaces guesswork with shared accountability. Instead of treating automation like a one-time purchase, the right partnership treats it like an operational change that needs a clear path from today\u2019s constraints to tomorrow\u2019s performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means both parties are aligned on what success does and&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;look like, how the operation will&nbsp;actually run&nbsp;at&nbsp;steady&nbsp;state and what needs to be true before adding complexity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words: you&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;have to bet the building to make progress. You can modernize in phases, prove value&nbsp;early&nbsp;and build toward a future-state architecture that&nbsp;won\u2019t&nbsp;need to be reworked after the first go-live.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-nbsp-envista-nbsp-nbsp-osaro-nbsp-reduce-automation-risk-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How&nbsp;enVista&nbsp;+&nbsp;OSARO&nbsp;Reduce Automation Risk&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When warehouse leaders think about the risk of automation,&nbsp;they\u2019re&nbsp;usually thinking about&nbsp;the obvious&nbsp;factors&nbsp;like capex, labor&nbsp;adoption&nbsp;and performance against promised rates.

A software platform might check every box in an RFP. But once you introduce real facility constraints like order profiles, exception handling, upstream\/downstream processes, network stability, systems of record and labor patterns, \u201cbest\u201d often becomes \u201cbest&nbsp;<em>if<\/em>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s&nbsp;why integration experience matters early. The earlier you bring in the people responsible for making everything work together, the sooner you can pressure-test assumptions and avoid designing a system that only performs well on paper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early-stage integration support helps operators:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Validate fit<\/strong>&nbsp;against real operational variability, not just averages.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Define interfaces and ownership<\/strong>&nbsp;across WMS\/WES\/WCS, robotics and upstream\/downstream systems&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid overbuying<\/strong>&nbsp;technology that outpaces the process maturity or site readiness&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid underdelivering<\/strong>&nbsp;by missing critical workflow details, exceptions or change impacts&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When design and execution are treated as separate phases owned by&nbsp;different groups, misalignment tends to hide under the surface until fixes are more expensive, timelines are&nbsp;tighter&nbsp;and confidence is harder to rebuild.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this is where&nbsp;you\u2019ve&nbsp;found yourself with&nbsp;a previous&nbsp;automation implementation,&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;not too late to get the results&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;looking for.
