How does Kiva Robotic System functions? GNIMS Institute
Traditionally, goods were moved around the warehouse center using conveyors, or by
human operated tow racks or forklifts.
Whereas in Kiva System ,
Goods are kept on a portable storage units.
1. When an order arrives these battery powered
robots are guided by computerized control
system to fetch the order
2. These robots are guided by the 2D bar codes on the floor to navigate their way to mobile shelves containing the desired inventory.
3. When this drive reaches the desired location it places itself beneath a pod and lifts it from the ground and moves.
4. Then it is again guided to human packer who takes care of the next process.
