Virtual Reality for better more efficient staff training

Swisslog is currently developing a SynQ Virtual Reality (VR) Training Manager which allows end users and trainers to learn and enhance picking process skills in a virtual environment at SynQ CarryPick workstations. The continued development of this unique training program based specifically on your configured warehouse processes replicates workstation picking in a VR environment. This enables both regular retraining of staff for continuous improvement of warehouse picking without impacting on live operations in a busy warehouse, as well as speeding up onboarding and training of new staff.

Smart analytics: What could your business achieve with 99.9% system availability?

Condition Monitoring

Condition Monitoring continuously monitors the condition of your intralogistics system and immediately alerts when a potentially critical condition is developing. Condition monitoring improves your maintenance planning, and lowers cost of operation. It also reduces your operational and financial risks by minimizing potential downtime.

Availability Manager

Availability Manager enables you to see system availability at a glance. It calculates system availability across different flows, such as picking or inbound.

Event Manager

Event Manager is an intelligent way to give you fast and automatic troubleshooting alerts. Detect events early on, or even before they occur. It reliably uncovers the causes of disruptions and bottlenecks and automatically initiates proactive measures to optimize workflows in your warehouse. Do you want to receive a proactive SMS or e-mail notification before it gets critical? No problem, you can tailor it to your needs.

Our Industry 4.0 applications are linked together and form the base for developing even more smart applications including predictive maintenance and labor management. Moreover, they enable new, performance-based business models.
