Automation That Adapts to Your Operations
Carte+ brings scalable, rack-native automation to your warehouse—regardless of your current infrastructure, system maturity, or SKU velocity.
Most automation is designed for perfect conditions. Carte+ isn’t. Built on the principles of Omni Rack Robotics, Carte+ is modular, rack-installed, and engineered for the realities of warehouse operations as they exist today—legacy infrastructure, standard racks, mezzanines, high-bays, and mixed workflows. Whether you’re a 3PL, retailer, manufacturer, or e-commerce fulfillment center, Carte+ adapts to the workflows that define your day-to-day operations.
1. High-Velocity Order Picking
Problem:
Fast-moving SKUs create pressure for speed, accuracy, and flexibility—especially during peak periods. Traditional automation often requires custom layouts or significant downtime.
Carte+ Solution:
Carte+ automates picking at the source—directly on your existing racks. Robots retrieve totes or cartons and bring them to ergonomic pick stations, reducing travel time and manual handling. With bots traveling overhead, floor traffic is eliminated, and aisle congestion disappears. Systems scale effortlessly to meet demand spikes.
Key Benefits:
● Up to 5X faster than manual picking
● One operator can manage multiple bots
● No proprietary totes or floor changes needed
2. Batch and Wave Picking
Problem:
Coordinating large batches and waves is labor-intensive, with pickers walking miles across pick modules and mezzanine levels.
Carte+ Solution:
Carte+ groups and delivers multiple totes to a single pick station, supporting smart batching and wave logic. This minimizes operator travel, streamlines order consolidation, and accelerates throughput. Combined with existing WES or WMS logic, it supports dynamic prioritization and cut-off times.
Key Benefits:
● Reduces walking and picking labor
● Increases throughput during large waves
● Supports complex batch logic without physical changes
3. Replenishment and Putaway
Problem:
Inbound goods must be stored quickly, accurately, and without interrupting outbound operations. Manual putaway strains both labor and lift equipment.
Carte+ Solution:
Carte+ automates putaway with smart routing and vertical access—placing inbound totes in the right rack location without human lift equipment. Operators can replenish during off-peak hours or even in parallel with picking workflows.
Key Benefits:
● Keeps high-turn locations stocked automatically
● Reduces lift usage and aisle congestion
● Increases replenishment accuracy and speed.
4. Reverse Logistics + Returns Processing
Problem:
Returns pile up. Manually processing them slows down the rest of the operation and leads to inventory lag.
Carte+ Solution:
Carte+ supports intelligent returns handling by routing items back into storage dynamically. Operators can scan returns and place them into a tote, which the robot immediately returns to the proper slot. No need for dedicated return zones or re-slotting later.
Key Benefits:
● Reduces return-to-stock cycle time
● No separate staging or sortation area required
● Keeps inventory accurate and up to date
5. Inbound Receiving and Buffering
Problem:
Receiving docks get overwhelmed during peak inbound windows. Manual processes create bottlenecks before items even reach storage.
Carte+ Solution:
Carte+ bots receive totes or boxes right at the dock and buffer them in high-density rack locations. This clears dock space quickly and keeps inbound flow moving—even before full sortation or putaway occurs.
Key Benefits:
● Clears docks faster
● Avoids temporary floor-staging areas
● Improves flow and buffer management
6. Multilevel and Mezzanine Access
Problem:
Facilities with mezzanines or vertical pick modules struggle to automate due to ceiling height, space constraints, or rack layout.
Carte+ Solution:
Carte+ was designed specifically for these environments. It installs directly on mezzanine racks—no lifts, catwalk retrofits, or expensive rebuilds needed. Robots and lifts move totes seamlessly between levels.
Key Benefits:
● Works in low-ceiling or complex vertical spaces
● No structural upgrades needed
● Ideal for older buildings and retrofits
7. Dynamic Storage + Slotting
Problem:
Static storage assignments lead to wasted space and misaligned pick paths as inventory velocity changes.
Carte+ Solution:
With real-time data and flexible storage, Carte+ allows you to dynamically re-slot fast-moving inventory, reassign locations based on demand, and optimize pick paths automatically. All without touching the racks.
Key Benefits:
● Higher storage density
● Adaptive to SKU velocity shifts
● Enables dynamic heatmaps and slotting logic
