…warehouse robotics into the realm of operational expenses or “opex.” The advantages cascade from there, from opening up solutions to a wider base of users to making it easier to scale fleets, say industry observers. The model is catching on, with some vendors having focused on it for years. For example, autonomous mobile robot (AMR) provider Locus Robotics uses RaaS for all its offerings. Other AMR vendors also lead with RaaS, and analysts predict strong growth. The RaaS market could grow from $1.33 billion in 2023 to $4.12 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of…

…Sort robotic piece-picking system, as well as VARGO and OPEX's Sure Sort, which uses autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and conveyors, were originally designed for mail sortation. These automated options have since made their way into general warehouse and DC put walls, with a focus on moving items from one area to a specific destination. “It’s about automating the placement of an item from the induction point to the actual order,” Eldred noted. “This is being done at a very high rate of speed by extremely sophisticated robotics.” Robot arms for sortation Adam Fry, head of product at Covariant, said he…

…a strategic long-term investment and competitive differentiator. Capex vs. opex models: Dated capital expenditure models are delaying rapid adoption of automation at scale. Proven value: New technologies have to do a better job at proving value in environments with more financial discipline and to compete with other types of tech investments. Respondents were not interested in “science projects.” Source: Vecna Robotics When it comes to adopting automation at scale, the barriers remain spread. Cost and ROI remained the top barriers (44%) but was followed closely by training/change management (43%). Implementation complexity (39%), integration challenge (38%), and operational fit (38%) also…

…equipment, so we make money on both capex and opex [operating expenses]. There are all sorts of permutations. Some companies want to own their equipment after a certain number of years. The savvy ones compute everything and look at their numbers to avoid overpaying for services after three years. With robotics as a service, how much customization happens? Casse: We're moving away from customization. We want to make our flagship workcell product available with RaaS. Vulcan is an integrated module for packaging and sorting. For example, for handling, sorting, quality control, packaging, and palletizing, we can build 80% to 90%…

…is a more iterative approach and more of an opex [operational expenditure] play. Software is the true enabler here. With machine learning opportunities, every time an advanced robot interacts with its environment, it should be getting smarter. You need a feedback loop to get the most out of automation. RaaS and customer expectations Speaking of RaaS, what do you mean—leasing, renting, etc.? Dryer: RaaS can be configured in different ways. First and foremost, it could just be the software or vision portion of a solution. This is more of a SaaS, or software-as-a-service, play, in my opinion. Alternatively, it could…
