…of their patients. So, What Does This Mean For RaaS? Mobile robots have the potential to assist many industries to alleviate staffing issues and enhance productivity- but adopting robots isn’t always an easy task. This is where RaaS (robotics-as-a-service) comes to help. RaaS companies offer a unique ability for businesses seeking to use robotics. Although the RaaS market as a whole offers varying types of robots, AMRs have become a popular option, especially among staff shortages as they’re able to move and make decisions for themselves. Rather than a business purchasing a robot, which can be very costly and overwhelming…

…lift truck leasing going to morph into a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) arrangement? The short answer, say lift truck providers, is not overnight. Robotics adds predictability, and associated Cloud for lift truck fleets is already typically subscription-based, but it will take time for RaaS models to mature. One reason, says John Rosenberger, director of global telematics for The Raymond Corp., is that some earlier variants of automated lift trucks required guidance infrastructure such as reflectors or tags embedded in the floor. Such installations go against the grain of the as-a-service concept, he adds. “With an ‘as a service’ model, or a subscription…

…program. Often refered to as ”robots as a service” (RaaS), leasing lets companies of any size—from small start-ups to multinational enterprises—deploy mobile robot solutions with low (or no) upfront costs and low monthly payments. This lowers financial barriers for investing in AMRs and gives customers a near immediate return on investment (ROI). “While sales of our mobile robots continue to thrive, many companies still prefer to lease their logistics equipment rather than make a capital investment upfront,” said Thomas Visti, CEO, MiR. “Leasing the robots becomes an operational expenditure instead, enabling our customers to quickly get started reaping the benefits…
