DLA Warner Robins prepares for new Warehouse Management System

NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa. — Defense Logistics Agency Warner Robins, Georgia, personnel conducted two rehearsals of concept drills Jan. 14, marking a critical step in the site’s transition from the legacy Distribution Standard System to the new Warehouse Management System.

A multidisciplinary development team, comprised of Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL, depot, industry and academia representatives, observes the successful first demonstration of an autonomous robotic incremental metal forming prototype, nicknamed AI-FORGE, at Warner-Robins Air Logistics Complex, Georgia, in late January 2023. Personnel from AFRL’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Ohio State University, the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing Institute, Yaskawa Motoman, and CapSen Robotics collaborated to develop the robotic blacksmithing system, which uses incremental forming, a heat-assisted metalworking process that permits users to manufacture small lots of customized manufactured parts for military aircraft. During its initial test run, the artificially intelligent system operated autonomously without human interruption for over six hours.
