The growth of robotics and automation in warehouse management is accelerating exponentially. Driven by the rise of e-commerce and omnichannel retail—which has created a demand for faster, more efficient warehouse operations—companies are exploring robotics automation to help them optimize their supply chain operations, increase productivity, reduce costs, and gain a competitive advantage.
To meet the rapidly growing needs of robotics and automation in warehouse management, Netlogistik utilizes the SOFTBOT® Platform from SVT Robotics. This tech-agnostic platform revolutionizes how our customers can apply robotics automation seamlessly into their existing systems. Integrating the SOFTBOT® Platform with logistics and distribution solutions enables our clients to deploy and manage advanced robotic systems efficiently. These systems include sortation, picking, packing, inventory management, automated mobile robots (AMRs), put-away systems, vision systems, and more, enhancing operational efficiency and agility in their warehouse processes.
SOFTBOT helps companies solve integration challenges by offering reusable integrations ready to deploy with no custom code required. The Platform can also aggregate and normalize data from disparate systems and display them in a single location, providing end users real-time auditing and monitoring capability across technologies.

Integrating warehouse robotics with WMS software has helped a wide range of businesses—including those in the retail, e-commerce, and manufacturing industries—realize several important benefits that significantly impact warehouse operations. Such benefits include:
Increased productivity
and efficiency:
Warehouse robots can perform repetitive tasks 24/7 without fatigue, increasing productivity and throughput while minimizing process bottlenecks.
Earlier defect
detection:
By automating potentially hazardous tasks such as storing, picking, and packing heavy goods, warehouse robots minimize the potential for accidents and injuries while helping improve overall risk management.
Reduction in
labor costs:
Warehouse robots decrease the need for manual labor, resulting in cost savings.
Improved accuracy and
order fulfillment:
Warehouse robots can be equipped with advanced sensors and algorithms to ensure precise picking, sorting, and packing of items. This reduces the risk of errors and improves order fulfillment accuracy.
Real-time visibility into
system performance:
Automated robots can provide actionable insights for improving warehouse operations. Integrating robots with WMS software lets you easily view the latest data and insights via a user-friendly display
