Success Story

Waytek Improves Throughput by 25% with Zebra Autonomous Mobile Robots

Waytek, a leading distributor of automotive electrical components, has been in business since 1970, prioritizing customer service and efficiency. However, due to a rise in component demand and worker shortage from 2020, Waytek's existing infrastructure struggled to keep up.

Challenge

Waytek's fixed conveyor system could only handle 800 orders per day and took up significant floor space. To address these challenges, Waytek decided to deploy Zebra's Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). This decision resulted in an increase in daily throughput, the reclamation of distribution center space and an extension of the facility's lifespan. It also freed workers from certain manual tasks and increased overall efficiency.

Benefits / Outcomes

  • 25% increase in daily throughput
  • 13% facility space recovery
  • 5 years added to facility lifespan
