Kiva Systems, which specialises in developing mobile robotic solutions for operations involving order fulfilling and distribution, has announced that it has received ISO 9001 certification.
The certification covers designing for solution, testing, consulting, manufacturing, technological support for hardware and software and service delivery. Kiva Systems uses mobile robotics to ensure that the inventory is accessible to employees so that order fulfilling can be done in a more efficient manner.
Kiva Systems uses products in various shapes and sizes and this enables ease of implementation and reduces time wasted in moving within the floor of the warehouse. The automation solutions provided by the company cover all aspects of distribution such as inventory control, picking, packing, inventory renewal, sorting, finishing, shipping and quality control. The implementation of such a solution reduces costs, increases speed, productivity and efficiency and enhances the flexibility of the operation.
According to Benge Amrogi, who is the VP of programme and product management at Kiva Systems, ISO 9001 certification is highly critical for sectors such as aerospace and medical devices as the quality of the product or service provided is measured. He also added that the company receiving ISO 9001 certification is proof of the quality of its robotic solution.
