Product Description

Built on industrial robotics technology, the MESH Robotic Buffering System (RBS) manages product flow between processes in manufacturing, production, warehouse and distribution center environments. This system is designed to handle uneven process speeds, order consolidation requirements, balancing Takt times and are suitable when there is limited floor space for staging. By introducing a controlled robot-based buffering environment,  MESH improves sequencing, reduces congestion, and eliminates manual staging between picking, packing, and shipping.

The RBS uses high-density automated storage combined with robotic retrieval and intelligent release logic. There is a centrally located industrial robot positioned to access storage racks that surround it. Products, cartons, or totes are stored in a structured environment and released based on downstream demand rather than arrival order. This allows upstream processes to continue operating while downstream processes catch up or rebalance, maintaining consistent throughput across the system.

This is suitable for logistics, consumer goods, food and beverage and healthcare production and delivery uses.

Throughput and storage capacity are configured based on application requirements, including product type, system layout, and required cycle times. The modular design allows additional storage and robotic capacity to be added as demand increases, making it a scalable solution for growing operations.

MESH Robotic Buffering System with Intelligent Flow Control

The robotic buffering system implemented by MESH Automation is a high-density robotic buffering solution designed to manage product flow between connected production and warehouse processes.

This MESH robotic buffering system creates a controlled staging layer that stores sequences and releases inventory based on real-time operational demand. Generally the commands for the goods to be delivered are supplied by a supervisory system. These can also be stand-alone units that have local process initiatives. By eliminating manual staging and improving coordination MESH enables more consistent throughput and reduced congestion across production and warehouse operations.

Summary of Capability

The RBS is designed to stabilize operations where process speeds vary between upstream and downstream systems or operations. Products are stored in a high-density automated environment and released based on robotic and in some cases AI system logic rather than arrival order.

System throughput and capacity are dependent on storage configuration, robot selection and application requirements. Each RBS is engineered by MESH Automation to align with facility layout throughput targets and integration with other systems as well as data communication needs.
