The Challenge

A rapidly growing e-commerce fulfilment operator was struggling to meet same-day delivery SLAs during peak periods. Picker travel accounted for 65% of order cycle time, and seasonal labor costs were becoming unsustainable.

The Solution

Peunier designed and deployed a fleet of 12 AMRs integrated with the client's existing WMS, implementing goods-to-person picking, real-time robot fleet management, and a dynamic task allocation system.

Our Approach
01

Workflow & Space Analysis

Heatmap analysis of picker travel patterns and order volume data used to design optimal storage layout and robot navigation paths.

02

AMR Fleet Configuration

Selected and configured 12-robot fleet with collision avoidance, priority routing, and charging management integration.

03

WMS Integration

Built bi-directional integration between AMR fleet management system and existing WMS for seamless task assignment and order tracking.

04

Phased Go-Live

3-zone phased rollout maintaining full operation throughout deployment. Full fleet live within 8 weeks.

We doubled our peak throughput without doubling our headcount. The AMR integration with our WMS was seamless—Peunier managed the complexity so our operations team didn't have to.
