Cutover with zero missed shipments
Phased AMR fleet rollout across three shifts, integrated with the client's existing WMS.
// How we work
How a Dawson Robotics project runs, from site walk to go-live.
Five stages, in order, each one gates the next so nothing gets built against a guess.
// Process
The five stages of a Dawson Robotics project
01
Assess
We walk the floor, model current throughput, and flag the bottlenecks costing you time.
An on-floor assessment gives our team a detailed understanding of your operational flow, critical pain points and improvement opportunities, with the people who run the floor every day.
02
Design
Layout drawings, discrete-event simulation, and an ROI model you can take to your board.
The design is modelled from your own order profile, SKU count and peak volumes rather than generic benchmarks, so the numbers in front of your board are numbers from your operation.
03
Build
Sourcing, fabrication, and staging happen off-site, away from your live operation.
Robotics, racking and software are brought together from our partners before anything arrives on your floor, so the work on site is installation.
04
Deploy
Installation is sequenced across shifts and warehouse zones, allowing your team to maintain full outbound operations while the system is brought online.
05
Support
24/7 remote monitoring and on-site service contracts, with response times written into the SLA.
// Results
What the system looked like after cutover.
A sample of facilities we've brought online in the past three years.
Order throughput, same footprint
Replaced manual case-picking with a sortation and robotic-pick line inside an existing 26,000 sqm facility.
Picking accuracy
Facility detail for this pharmaceutical deployment is still to be confirmed.
// The assessment
What we look at on the floor
The assessment is where every project starts, and it is the stage most of the design depends on. We look at the operation as it runs today, then at the building it has to run in.
What we look at- How orders flow from receiving to dispatch
- Order profile, SKU count and peak volumes
- Where time is lost to walking, searching and waiting
- The building: clear height, floor, dock doors and racking
- The WMS or WES the system will connect to
// Questions
Common questions about automating a warehouse with Dawson Robotics
No. Dawson Robotics integrates automation into the floor you already run as well as into new builds. The systems work with standard racking, and the assessment starts from your existing building.
In most cases, yes. Every HaiPick configuration Dawson Robotics integrates runs on HaiQ software, which connects to almost any existing WMS or WES. The system you run is one of the things the facility assessment records.
Yes. Dawson Robotics sequences installation across shifts and warehouse zones, so your team maintains full outbound operations while the system is brought online.
Dawson Robotics models it from your own order profile, SKU count and peak volumes rather than generic benchmarks. The design stage produces layout drawings, a discrete-event simulation and an ROI model you can take to your board.
Dawson Robotics is a system integration partner of Hai Robotics and integrates the HaiPick range: HaiPick Climb, HaiPick Rail and HaiPick Systems 1, 2 and 3. Racking and software come from a small set of partners rather than a single house brand.
A Dawson Robotics project starts with an on-floor facility assessment. Book one through the enquiry form on this site, and the team comes back to you to arrange a time on site.
Numbers don't lie.
Your data will prove it.
We model your business case from your own order profile, SKU count and peak volumes, not generic benchmarks. If the numbers stack, we'll show you exactly how.
