…specific service-level agreements (SLAs), especially those with a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model. There's no denying that sorting plastics by hand is time-consuming and costly. That's why companies like ABB and AMP Robotics are working on ways to speed up the process with robots. No single approach has yet solved the problem. Industrywide adoption will take several years, but with technology evolving quickly and so many people working hard on such projects, there's little doubt that they can help recycle more plastics.

…pick-rate improvement. It obtained the robots through a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model, helping to keep upfront costs down. 6 River noted that its Chucks, which can lead human pickers, enabled the company to reach full volume within two days of the popup facility going live. The robots reduced training time from one week to one day. In addition, 6 River Systems' software, which was integrated with Crocs' warehouse management system, enabled optimization. “We see everything. It's uploaded to the cloud and fed into our optimization algorithm,” said Glynn. “We're continuously monitoring activity throughout the day on where robots and people…

…a “drone-in-a-box” turnkey data solution service under a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January approved Scout as the first system for automated beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations with no humans on-site. The company said this approval gives it an exclusive first-mover advantage to unlock the commercial drone market by overcoming the need for costly visual observers to be on the ground during every drone flight. With humans removed from the field and data processing achieved at the edge, users can reduce data-acquisition costs by more than tenfold, said AR. American Robotics said Scout System…

…because they plan to use robotics as a service (RaaS), and another 2% say they plan to funnel funds from other projects into their robotics and automation initiatives. Nearly half of the survey respondents who are planning to use robots would prefer to buy the entire solution (i.e., a pure CapEx investment), 24% say they would rather use the RaaS option, and 22% say they would prefer to buy the robot hardware but subscribe to the software via a hybrid approach. Customer satisfaction guaranteed When investing in robotics solutions, more than half of respondents (53.8%) say payback is an “extremely…

…you can hire robots as part of a Robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) offering, you can flexibly scale up and down as your demand dictates. Hire more when it’s busier, return them when business calms down. Adding them for a peak is easy, too – they just need to be connected to your network (assuming the system is already in place). This makes them highly cost-effective, especially as you don’t have high upfront costs related to fixed automation. Besides this, they’re easy to integrate without disturbing operations and get to know their surroundings quickly while adapting their movements accordingly. Lastly, you can support…

…Drug Administration (FDA) for approval. Robotics as a service (RaaS) is a business model similar to software as a service (SaaS) helping to manage the high cost of adopting systems for robot-assisted surgery. Galen Robotics offers “digital surgery as a service.” With this model, hospitals and healthcare centers do not have the large upfront expenditure to acquire a high-end robot. This model enables them to pay on the basis of usage. To ensure seamless collaboration with surgeons and efficient usage of robots, Galen Robotics also plans to use its funding to develop surgeon training modules and expand its clinical sales…

…interoperability, ramping up robot production, robotics as a service (RaaS), and more. Erik Nieves, CEO of Plus One Robotics Where should warehouses automate first? Nieves said warehouse operations can generally be broken up into two types of workers: those who move stuff around and those who manipulate and do stuff with their hands. He said there are technological advancements happening for both jobs, but noted that autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are progressing faster than manipulation technology. When installing robots in nascent markets, an unwritten rule is that operators want to be able to still be able to operate efficiently if…
