…forecasted US$2.1 billion, states global tech market advisory firm, ABI Research. “The current virus outbreak will likely delay the deployment of advanced 5G NR systems, including Massive Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) and active antennas that several operators have already started deploying,” explains Jiancao Hou, senior analyst at ABI Research. This may mean that operators that have already deployed a significant number of base stations will be in a better position to become early adopters and benefit from an earlier transition from previous generations to 5G, but this will rely on the availability of relevant handsets. In the short term,…

…toward sustainable competitive advantages, according to new research from ABI Research, a global tech market advisory firm. The research found that despite the nearly equal number of installed bases of AI-enabled end devices in both markets, the United States has an edge over China due to its different incentives and approaches that encourage AI adoption in industrial manufacturing. In the United States, the ecosystem of AI in industrial applications is growing quickly, the report shows. The expensive labor force has driven the industrial sector to enhance production efficiency and lower operational costs. Currently, cloud service providers, smart manufacturing platform vendors,…

…€175.75 billion ($212.34 billion U.S.) by 2025, according to ABI Research. Sales of service robots—including systems for logistics, healthcare, military, and field applications—rose by 61% in 2018, with more than 271,000 units being shipped. Companies are investing in automation for inventory management, procurement, assembly, and transportation, among other applications, said Meili Robots. With more companies buying robots, suppliers are unable to keep up with the growing demand, it added. As a result, businesses will deploy different brands of robots, leading to more diverse technology portfolios. According to the industry report, problems can arise when multiple systems — particularly automated guided…

…market for mobile robotics is expected to exceed $224 billion by 2030, according to global technology market advisory firm ABI Research. Demand in Japan will be particularly high because of the country’s demographic inversion. Having fewer young people than older people means that there is not enough labor supply to do all the work needed to power the economy. Japanese manufacturers must rely on self-driving vehicles and other forms of industrial automation because there simply are not enough humans to do all the work that needs to be done.

…for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) has also been increasing. ABI Research estimates that there will be 50,000 robotic warehouses around the world by 2025, which is a huge difference from the mere 4,000 back in 2018. Source: ABI Research, Meili Robots However, as we have already seen, warehouse automation comes in many different forms — WMSes, inventory management systems, and mobile robots. Here are some other common automation solutions for warehouses: Integrating shipping management systems and automating the shipping process with the use of barcode scanners Deploying automatic pallet wrappers and box builders Replacing fixed conveyors with automated conveyor systems…
