…ROI calculator for its AMRs. Source: Mobile Industrial Robots RaaS and robot ROI The ROI calculations are more accurate today as companies move to robotics-as-a-service (RaaS). This model allows users to consider mobile robot expenses as ongoing operating expenses rather than capital expenses to be amortized over time, according to Cherewka. Another advantage of today’s mobile robots is that they are connected devices that can provide their operating status and other key data in real time, he said. This is also key to monitoring and maintaining service levels. “It gives you greater visibility into how your operations are working in…

…to a single provider for AI-powered robotics with robots-as-a-service [RaaS]. It seems like AGV [automated guided vehicle] providers have figured out a way to scale successfully in this market. From every dimension, they have figured it out. Aaron Prather, FedEx Express Prather: Besides Boston Dynamics finally showing off Stretch, I think that Locus, Vecna, and Plus One were big winners. All three of them showed solutions that are ready—or soon will be—to go. Locus showed the diversity of its fleet after its acquisition of Waypoint. Vecna showed its expansion into pallet handling. Plus One showed depalletizing and integration into other…

…three of Canada's coasts, noted Kraken Robotics. The robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) contract provided the RCN FDU-A access to cutting-edge technology and high-resolution seabed data, said the company. Kraken deployed its KATFISH-towed synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) system and integrated its Light Weight SAS (LW-SAS) onboard a RCN-owned Hydroid REMUS 100 unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). The contractor said it demonstrated that its technology as a service could provide significantly better data, at a much lower cost than existing systems and continuously improve capabilities. Throughout the course of the contract, Kraken said, its KATFISH and LW-SAS systems met or exceeded target specifications. Furthermore, the…

…four trends Meili Robots has observed: 1. Process automation, RaaS become more popular Business or robotic process automation (RPA) is the next step in software as a service (SaaS). Enterprises such as hospitals are adopting RPA to deal with repetitive tasks like inventory management, appointment scheduling, and invoice management. The rise of “everything as a service” has removed barriers for smaller firms that want to add robots to their facilities—such as the need for in-house technical expertise and a high initial investment. Industries such as construction and hospitality are already familiar with renting or leasing equipment. While the robotics-as-a-service (RaaS)…
