DHL Supply Chain has launched a “plug & play” robotics platform in collaboration with Microsoft and Blue Yonder.

The robotics platform helps reduces integration time and programming efforts to onboard automation devices into warehouse facilities, while giving DHL customers more flexibility in selecting suitable robotics systems according to their individual business needs. The solution leverages Microsoft Azure IoT and cloud platform services.

The first implementation at a DHL Supply Chain facility in Madrid has demonstrated that the platform can reduce complexity and accelerate the integration of robotic systems into an existing warehouse management system. At the same time, the platform gives users greater flexibility in selecting and integrating different robotics vendors in one system. The robotics platform is powered by Blue Yonder’s Luminate Platform with machine-learning (ML)-driven task management capabilities that enable a high level of warehouse operational efficiency.
