Ocado Intelligent Automation - OMRS: Ocado Mobile Robot System

OMRS Overview

A Mobile Robot System That’s Quick To Deploy And Proven To Lift Warehouse Throughput.

Whether it’s a struggle to retain labor, keep up with seasonal or unexpected peaks in demand, or diagnose areas to improve performance, OMRS is a proven leader in solving today’s fulfillment challenges.

At the core is Ocado IQ, cloud software that plans, assigns, and system-directs warehouse fulfilment for people and robots.

Chuck and Porter AMRs execute the work on the floor, while the Ocado IQ App extends system-directed picking to areas bots cannot reach.

The deep operational data and insights captured across the system are then surfaced in The Bridge, giving supervisors real-time visibility and control.
