…tracker yet released by global tech market advisory firm, ABI Research. There will be enormous growth across all subsectors, highlighted in a total market valuation of $277 billion (U.S.) by 2030. That growth will not be distributed evenly, however. By 2022, the burgeoning mobile robotics space will start to overtake the traditional industrial robotics market. Currently, mobile autonomy is concentrated in material handling within the supply chain, but mobile robots are set to touch every sector of the global economy for a wide range of use-cases. “Everyone talks about self-driving passenger vehicles, but mobile automation is far more developed in…

…stepping stone 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…

…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,…

…of 23.6%, according to a report by Allied Market Research. Industries including healthcare, defense, food and restaurant, retail, and logistics are increasingly demanding automation. In turn, these industries are accelerating the evolution of robotics and related technologies. These end users are pushing researchers, vendors, and integrators to create and offer best-in-class products. Amazon works to develop new robots Amazon Robotics last year said it has developed “Bert,” a robotic arm for delivering containers to staffers, and “Ernie,” an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) for carrying items. They're intended to reduce the physical strain of workers bending down to move objects and…

…simulate, and configure optimal solutions to support customers worldwide. ABI Research recently named the company as one of the top 10 providers of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Bolt desgined to go faster, longer, and farther IAM Robotics claimed that Bolt's new features is more adaptable, safer, and power-efficient than other AMRs. Bolt is designed to enable users to add standardized tops or customize a unique accessory to flexibly meet their needs. They can add everything from piece-picking arms to pallet movers, said the company. For “smarter safety,” Bolt uses 360-degree vision and a combination of state-of-the-art sensors and direct-drive wheel…

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…

…€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…
