Synergy releases robot orchestration option

THE FIRM is best known for its cloud-based WMS SnapFulfil.

Described as a multiagent, rather than a point solution, SnapControl is device and technology agnostic. Synergy has delivered the solution in an expanding customer DC, featuring AMRs and automated packaging systems, where SnapControl was deployed in weeks, without major software upheavals.

SnapControl orchestrates the prioritisation of work, automatically allocates tasks and workflows, evaluates which robotic devices best match specific operations, and enables data capture to assess the value each device yields.

It connects to devices including RF, AMRs, conveyors, palletisers, putwalls, ASRS, etc, plus in any possible transport method (API, CSV, etc,).

SnapControl promotes bi-directional MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) messaging and conversational decision-making between the WMS and remote warehouse devices, which typically have a small code footprint and minimal network bandwidth. 

Group CEO Rich Pirrotta, says: “In other words, SnapControl speaks to the devices and the devices talk back, enabling the most efficient warehouse decisions to be made automatically.”

Pirrotta continues: “Single point integrations prolong onboarding time and often operate within ineffective and separate silos. In today’s especially challenging times the ability to rapidly augment and orchestrate your technology investments, without unnecessary service fees, has never been more important. It’s now mission critical to harness control with 24/7 visibility from one centralised system.”
