Fetch Robotics WorkFlow Builder Simplifies Deployment of Mobile Robot Fleets

WorkFlow Builder lowers several barriers to adoption by simplifying integration and re-programming efforts.

Description:
Fetch Robotics launched in March 2020 its Workflow Builder toolkit, which allows customers to design, implement, and redesign their own workflows for Fetch’s autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Based on Blockly programming, Workflow Builder features a drag-and-drop interface that non-programmers can learn. WorkFlow Builder allows customers to deploy AMRs in days, doing all the work in-house without the need to rely on third-party integrators.

Although Workflow Builder is used for device, warehouse management system (WMS), and warehouse execution system (WES) integration, it is not dependent on the use of a WMS or WES. It can be deployed with WMS-related workflows such as picking and putaway, or workflows completely outside the WMS such as pack station replenishment, empty tote return, or recycling removal.

Analysis:
Designing for ease of use is a growing mantra of the robotics industry. In fact, Fetch Robotics CEO Melonee Wise at RoboBusiness Europe 2017 called ease of use the next big challenge for robotics. Fetch’s WorkFlow Builder is certainly a major step in the right direction.

It is now easier than ever for Fetch’s customers to design, install, and maintain their fleets of AMRs. Many other types of robots still require the expertise of third-party integrators for initial setup and reprogramming when workflows change. This work is costly, disruptive, and does not guarantee that automation workflows will meet ROI expectations.

WorkFlow Builder helps lower several barriers to adoption by simplifying integration and re-programming efforts, lowering overall system cost, enabling system flexibility, and shortening the return on investment. - Steve Crowe
