…need to effectively manage heterogeneous environments is also growing. Meili Robots recently released a report on interoperability. “Many in industry have talked about wanting to expand applications of robots, but they've been put off by interoperability issues or concerns on how to combine different systems,” said Aldus von der Burg, founder and CEO of Meili Robots. “They don't want to juggle between three fleet management systems. I haven't seen fully diversified fleets yet outside of a hospital, but people are talking about it.” Market challenges The global market for manufacturing and non-industrial robots is expected to reach €175.75 billion ($212.34…

…quarter of 2021. In its latest “Industry Insights” report, Meili Robots examined seven key considerations for buying or building a fleet management system (FMS) for mobile robots. Let's look at them one by one. 1. Implementation speed Implementing an existing fleet management system that has been built by third-party experts would be much less time-consuming than building your own from scratch. Not only can it take up to a year or more to build an FMS — depending on the complexity of the project — but it also may delay your overall operations due to potential allocation of resources. On…

…With the first quarter of the year behind us, Meili Robots has compiled a list of some of the most noteworthy robotics trends for the rest of 2022. Will robotics hardware become commoditized? The answer is debatable, but software and artificial intelligence promise to make automation more flexible, even as new business models could make robots more affordable. Larger fleets of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), collaborative robots, and new applications are leading to new business requirements. Here are four trends Meili Robots has observed: 1. Process automation, RaaS become more popular Business or robotic process automation (RPA) is the next…

…(CAGR) of 9.7% between 2021 and 2026. Source: Statista, Meili Robots What is retail automation? Retail automation refers to the technologies that enable businesses — regardless of whether they are online or brick-and-mortar stores—to streamline manual, repetitive processes that otherwise would require a lot of time and resources. Such automation can have a significant impact on nearly every aspect of a retail business — think of inventory and order management, order fulfillment, marketing automation, and so forth. We will discuss some of the most common types of retail automation below. Retail automation trends As mentioned above, the pandemic has had…

…logistics, retail, and disposal industries. To be more precise, Meili Robots has identified four stages of material handling processes in the supply chain: Manufacturing: First, inbound shipments of components and finished goods need to be moved and handled within factories and storage facilities. Transportation: Second, the goods need to be transferred to either an internal warehouse or to an external wholesaler — preferably as units, to smoothen the shipping process. Warehousing and storage: Now it is time for the products to be offloaded, moved, and stored in racks or shelving units within the warehouse. Distribution: Finally, the products need to…

…according to Grand View Research. Source: Grand View Research, Meili Robots. With a WMS, you can finally get rid of all that paper and instead focus on analyzing your operations and achieving optimal efficiency. However, there are a number of factors to keep in mind when considering a WMS: Choose a WMS that can be easily integrated into your existing interface. Assess the WMS’s core capabilities and activity requirements. Make sure you can measure your outputs in terms of capturing key performance indicators (KPIs), labelling, documentation, and management reports. Most importantly, choose a WMS that fulfills your operational requirements, regardless…

Omron has one of the best, but once you introduce another robot into a space, it matters if they can't communicate.” Reducing complexity “Challenges in today's distribution centers include moving items from the loading bay on a pallet mover to tote carriers in another section of a warehouse,” said Pestoni. “Whether it's with the same or different vendors, it adds…
