Publisher Activision and developer Toys for Bob have will release a Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time demo to uses who digitally pre-order the game for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One on September 16, the companies announced.

The demo will include two levels from Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, featuring Crash Bandicoot and Neo Cortex as playable characters. It will also let users experience some of the new Quantum Masks: “Kupuna-Wa” to control time and “Lani-Loi” to phase objects in and out of existence. The demo will be available to download until the game’s launch to all users who pre-order the game digitally, past or present.

Additionally, the PlayStation Blog has gone up with the first gameplay video and information on playable character Tawna Bandicoot. Here are the details:

In Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, our heroes Crash and Coco set off on an action-packed adventure across space and time where they encounter more than a few familiar faces from the classic N. Sane Trilogy. One character that we were really excited to shine the spotlight on in this new story was Tawna Bandicoot.

Appearing only in the first game of the trilogy as Crash’s girlfriend, Tawna was the damsel in distress archetype and we never got to really learn much about her. Early on in Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, Crash and Coco cross paths with a Tawna from what we at Toys For Bob have been calling the “Tawnaverse,” an alternate dimension where she is the hero in her own story. This gave us the opportunity to rethink Tawna and establish a clear new voice for her in Crash 4.

To make “Tawnaverse” Tawna a fully fleshed out character, we had to answer some core questions about her: How is this Tawna different from the one we already know? What happened to her that made her this way? What are her key personality traits? What does she sound like? If Tawna is the hero of her universe, how would she respond to different situations?

The answers to these questions, and many more, helped us to discover a strong, dynamic & multi-dimensional (literally) version of Tawna that’s fierce and aspirational. What’s even more exciting is that in Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time you will actually be able to swing into action as this new Tawna! Joining Neo Cortex and Dingodile as a playable character, Tawna has her own unique playstyle and an exciting new look as well…

A Bold New Look

As an alternate universe character, we had a tremendous amount of creative freedom to re-envision Tawna. This Tawna is an experienced adventurer, a daring, driven, and confident hero. She needed to exude strength and dexterity, so we looked towards powerful athletic bodies as inspiration for her physique. She is a lone wolf who likes to think that she doesn’t need anyone’s help, and we wanted that to come across in all aspects of her look, from her outfit to her range of expressions.

We iterated on her design for quite a while with early concepts ranging from an Australian outback adventurer, to a tough as nails rock climbing daredevil, before finally finding our Tawna. The quirky mix of her spiked leather jacket, punky half shaved, blue-dyed hairstyle. and bright pink leg warmers shows a woman who walks to the beat of her own drum. Everyone on the art team, from concept artists, to character modelers, to the amazing riggers and animators did an amazing job bringing her to life!

High-Flying Fun

While we’re super excited about Tawna’s cool new look and the pivotal role that she plays in the story, we’ve also designed an awesome new playstyle and move set for her. Each of the three new playable characters in Crash 4 has a unique way to move about and interact with the world. Dingodile uses his vacuum to give himself an extra floaty jump, Neo Cortex has a speedy forward dash move, and Tawna is no exception.

Equipped with a versatile hook-shot ability that allows her to quickly traverse levels and attack enemies and break crates from afar, Tawna feels as powerful and exciting as she looks. She also has a devastating ground-pound attack, spin kicks, and can reach new heights with her acrobatic wall jump. Playing as Tawna feels fast, fluid, and fresh, while still retaining the precision and intensity that makes Crash Bandicoot such a unique platforming experience.

From the Heart

The new Tawna holds a special place in our hearts at Toys for Bob. As game developers, we’re passionate about telling stories and creating characters that delight and inspire. We seek to promote and expand upon the representation of female characters in games, and think that this new Tawna is a complex and aspirational hero that all players will fall in love with. We can’t wait for everyone to experience Tawna when she leaps into action in Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is due out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 2. Read more about the game here, here, and here.

Advantages of RDS™ Intelligent Automation Voice Picking Solutions Suite 

  Numina Group has been at the forefront of Intelligent Automation with voice picking solutions for Material Handling and Order Fulfillment for over 30 years. Intelligent Automation takes traditional automation and makes it smarter, able to tackle more complicated processes – software enables the automation to make decisions based on rules, for example. This greatly increases productivity, and accuracy while reducing labor costs. Numina Group’s Real-time Distribution Software, RDS

is a modular real-time software platform that is the powerhouse behind Numina Group’s Intelligent Automation.

RDS

is a versatile Warehouse Execution and Control System, (WES- WCS) with all the pre-developed modules necessary to execute highly efficient pick, pack, ship order fulfillment operations, including controlling conveyors, sorters, in-line scan weight, vision audit, retail and compliance labels, label locations, voice picking, AGV’s, ASRS and other material handling automation. What truly differentiates the Numina Group from our competitors in this space is the RDS

Order Release and Voice Suite.

The RDS Order Release and Voice Suite gives our customers the ability to streamline their operations, create seamless workflows, and easily scale up and down during peak times and seasons.  RDS

order release wave optimization logic performs more efficient order release across multiple work areas and executes multiple picking strategies in concert with RDS

Voice and other order fulfillment automation technologies. 

RDS

pick by voice seamlessly integrates with Order Release and Cartonization logic, taking into account labor required, in real-time, across multiple pick zones to perform the order picking. It selects the combination of cartons and totes based on the SKU dimensional weight, releases the order flow based on calculated work standards and travel time across the pick zones and can additionally include the performance activity required at upstream process areas, such as put walls for order consolidation, and pack and ship processes to increase productivity and throughput across the distribution operation.

Numina Group’s RDS

Order Release Module

Numina Group’s order release module uses the RDS

intelligent automation software to boost efficiencies in order fulfillment practices. This software goes far beyond traditional batch or continuous wave order release by balancing the order through modeling and measuring the zone work performance across all the pick zones required for a given order. The order release module takes into account the picking tasks in parallel work tasks to synchronize picking across the entire distribution operation.

The RDS

Order Release Module uses a model-based reasoning algorithm that allows settable work zone standards. The software measures the real-time work performed for selecting and balancing release orders in a closed loop process. Real-time displays show expected performance to actual order throughput with alerts and displays of orders zone progress.

The IA order release algorithms use model based reasoning to account for the following operation/order picking parameters:

Delivery priority assignments

Carrier cutoff times & customer specific service level (same day shipments)

Zone utilization (if a zone is full, release cartons that need picking to be performed in other zones)

Routing Travel times

Picking path and alternate routes

Cartonization

Palletization (largest/heaviest cases at the base, lighter/smaller on top)

Customer specific business rules (carton, case, VAD, padded or polybag)

Processing times (carton build, picking, consolidation, pallet build) based on configurable workmanship standards with real-time measured feed-back control

RDS

Order Release Module continuously measures each order’s pick zones historical and actual picking performance to select and release orders from the available pool of orders based on each zones order max capacity level setting.  When combined with RDS’s pick by voice, the software measures and takes into account each operators picking performance to further optimize the order release process.

RDS Voice Picking Solutions Suite

The RDS

Voice Suite is a robust and powerful voice directed software application for picking and managing warehouse work tasks that work seamlessly with the RDS

order release module.  The Voice Suite includes a family of pre-developed picking methods (i.e. strategies) that interleave picking with other applications such as shorts, replenishment, cycle counting and inspection functions tailored to the customers’ requirements.

During the design phase of a project, Numina Group’s engineering team and the client’s team work together to analyze current order fulfillment practices and select the combination of picking strategies best suited to obtaining the highest picking performance rates. The picking strategy selection process accounts for the SKU velocity, cube characteristics, order profiles and shipment methods across each zone to the order release module’s engineered order completion time-window.

The RDS

Voice Suite supports a wide mix of picking strategies matched to the application requirements including:

Smart Cart Batch Order picking using mobile cart-pick to carton or totes

Speed Pick single orders to totes on pick carts and conveyor systems

Bulk Pick single orders

Conveyor Pick module-zone routing pick to carton or totes

Dynamic Zone Carts – on demand picking of a batch of 3 or more orders in walk back pick or slow mover zones

High-bay order pickers using pallets or carts

Fork Trucks pallets or cart picking

Put Wall pick zone order consolidation

Sort by Voice and stage at dock areas and definable order consolidation and pallet build locations

RDS

Voice Suite includes a labor and order movement tracking software module. It measures order throughput and tracks and reports an individual worker’s picking productivity within their assigned work zones to the zones settable standards. The labor tracking and reporting data can be used to implement a pay for performance program that rewards employees for exceeding labor and accuracy goals. Pay for performance programs have proven to significantly improve warehouse performance across all elements of labor, including accuracy, base wages, overtime, and retention.

RDS

Multi-Modal Speaker Independent Voice Picking Solutions

RDS

uses a superior speaker independent multi-modal voice technology that combines natural speech voice commands with hands-free barcode scanning to scan pick locations and item pick validation by scanning the product barcode and/or lot serial number instead of reading check digits. Hands free scanning reduces a large percentage of the operator’s voice confirmation dialog especially when the scanner is the latest 2-D technology, increasing picking efficiency by 10% or higher than a voice only picking technology.

Speaker independent means zero operator voice training so new or current operators are productive in 5-10 minutes.  It is highly intuitive and remarkably easy to use compared to a traditional voice only system. A traditional voice only system relies on the operator receiving and confirming picking tasks using voice responses compared to a voice technology such as RDS

Voice that was developed from its inception to operate as a multi-modal voice technology that enables incremental benefits in nearly every aspect of the order picking process.

Multi-modal voice commands are combined with hands-free product and lot scan validation. The technology provides a single touch pick and pack validation at near 100% accuracy rates. The higher accuracy that a voice only achieves over an RF based terminal picking technology is due to the operator’s eyes focused on the work with pick and pack instructions being voice directed as outlined below:

Go to location A101

Scan item

Pick “2” voice command

2 “OK” voice response acknowledgement

The above 4 steps happen in near real-time (typically in under 2 seconds). Interleaving voice commands and hands-free scan validation is faster, more efficient and leaner order picking by eliminating reading instructions and data entry to minimize picking labor and the vast majority of secondary order inspection and packing work.

Conclusion

Distribution operations require a flexible, modular and highly reliable software platform that intelligently manage order release and balances work tasks while managing and controlling the latest automation technologies. This is the domain of RDS

WCS-WES and its Voice Suite for more efficiently managing pick, pack, and ship order fulfillment operation.

RDS  WES-WCS’s latest Intelligent Order Release Module optimizes order release in both continuous order and batch wave release and picking applications. The software synchronizes order picking assignments and prioritizes the order flow across the entire distribution center. When matched with the right voice directed picking process and pick zones standards, RDS

enforces a more efficient and higher in accuracy picking process. The results: reduced labor, improved order throughput for a faster ROI and higher profitability in order fulfillment operations using Numina Group voice picking solutions.
