In today’s unpredictable supply chain environment, resilience isn’t optional — it’s essential. Tariffs fluctuate. Labor shortages persist. Customer expectations keep climbing. Brands need smarter, faster, and more adaptable logistics solutions to survive and thrive.
That’s why NBD has built a next-generation logistics ecosystem — anchored by Cartesian Kinetics — to solve the chaos supply chains are facing right now.
The Real Challenges Automation Must Solve
Logistics automation today isn’t just about speed. It’s about flexibility, scalability, and stability in a volatile world. Yet many warehouses still operate manually, with fewer than 20% adopting robotics at scale. That leaves brands exposed to risks like:
- Rising labor costs and shortages
- High error rates that slow fulfillment and drive up returns
- Rigid infrastructures that can’t flex with demand
- Missed opportunities for cost savings and customer satisfaction
At NBD, we knew the answer wasn’t just layering in robots — it was designing an ecosystem that could flex, scale, and adapt as fast as the market changes.
Where Cartesian Kinetics Fits In
Cartesian Kinetics is redefining what warehouse automation can be. Unlike many automation systems that require expensive rip-and-replace retrofits, Cartesian Kinetics easily integrates into existing warehouse infrastructure — delivering rapid results without disrupting operations.
Key advantages include:
- Simple to Retrofit: Fits into your current racking structure with no extensive floor preparation required.
- Fast to Install: Systems can be installed in as little as six weeks, helping operations modernize without long downtime.
- Flexible to Integrate: Modular, scalable, and adaptable to different orchestration systems — perfect for multi-tenant environments.
- Built for Throughput: 500+ tote presentations, ergonomic pick walls, dynamic SKU storage, and a gamified operator console to maximize speed and accuracy.
With solutions spanning e-commerce fulfillment, micro-fulfillment, store replenishment, and returns management, Cartesian Kinetics empowers warehouses to operate with the same agility as digital systems move data.
