Warehouse Control Systems
Robotics and physical AI are transforming distribution and fulfillment centers into highly efficient, lights-out operations, where automated control systems coordinate every movement with minimal human intervention based on real-time demand signals.
With warehouse control systems, “hivemind” optimization turns distribution networks into resilient, adaptive assets. Products and inventory are shared across locations, linking smaller warehouses and micro-fulfillment centers into one unified, real-time system. Jabil’s high-level assembly capabilities bolster first pass yield improvements in P2P spaces from 96% to 99%, with 100% test coverage.
-
High-level assembly, vertical integration, and point-to-point wire preparation
-
Enclosure customization and E-PLAN design services
-
Value-added engineering for mechanical design, with demonstrated assembly time reduction from 4.5 hours to 55 minutes
-
Test solution development across semi-automated and automated configurations
-
Approximately 100 control cabinets produced per month
-
Certified to IPC/WHMA-A-620 and UL508A
Last-Mile Delivery
Fully autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), sidewalk robots, personal delivery devices (PDDs), and drones are changing how retailers and logistics providers reach customers directly from stores and fulfillment centers.
Many companies have proven the possibilities of autonomous last-mile delivery in pilots. Fewer have proven manufacturing at scale. Jabil supports with a wide range of capabilities to help autonomous delivery systems can perform in real-world conditions and operate reliably at fleet scale:
Environmental Durability
Robotics designed for heat, cold, dust, moisture, vibration, and repeated real‑world use through sealing strategies, IP‑rated designs, automotive‑grade components, and protective coatings.
Mobility and Mechanics
Robust drivetrain architectures, actuator integration, and stability design optimized for payload, terrain variability, and high‑duty‑cycle operation.
Power and Batteries
High‑density energy systems, advanced BMS, redundancy, and thermal management to support continuous compute, sensing, and wide temperature swings.
Compute and Electronics
Scalable onboard compute, custom electronics, PCB assembly, system bring‑up, and validation from prototype through volume production.
Sensors and Vision
End‑to‑end perception stack integration — from sensor selection to calibration, validation, and reliable operation across lighting and environmental conditions.
Materials and Structure
Lightweight, durable structures informed by UAV and advanced robotics platforms, optimized for manufacturability and long‑term field performance.
