Ocado Intelligent Automation - Mobile Fulfillment App

OMRS / App

Extending the Power of OMRS

The Ocado Intelligent Automation (OIA) mobile fulfillment app expands the reach of the Ocado Mobile Robot System (OMRS) by bringing its powerful system directed picking and optimization capabilities to handheld devices.

While OMRS's autonomous mobile robots, or AMRs, excel in navigating complex warehouse layouts, some areas and SKUs remain out of their reach or payload capacity. The app bridges this gap, enabling workers to manage oversized, bulky, or unconventional items using existing warehouse equipment such as forklifts, cherry pickers, or pallet jacks. From picking to putaway and exception management, the MFA seamlessly extends OMRS’ AI-optimized workflows for peak productivity.

By enabling consistent workflows across handheld devices and AMRs, the app ensures that warehouses achieve 100% volume fulfillment within one system while preserving the efficiency and accuracy of OMRS's operational optimizations.
