…robot sales are rocketing. Research from market insights firm Interact Analysis showed that global mobile robot market revenues grew by 20% in 2020. That year, at the height of the pandemic, nearly 60,000 mobile robots were shipped – an increase of over 25% on 2019. The problem for warehouses is that most mobile robot set-ups are designed to do a limited set of tasks in a warehouse and, as warehouses add more robots, they are reaching the limits of possible efficiencies with current technology. What is needed is a way to seamlessly integrate robots from different vendors into a unified…

…picking technology” said Ash Sharma, senior research director at Interact Analysis. “One billion picks is an incredible milestone and is testament to Locus Robotics’ innovation and vision over the past few years.” “The acceleration to 1 billion picks shows that we now have customers using robots in multiple sites,” Dekin observed. “We've then earned the right to get more customers. We've also earned the right to expand geographically, with a strong presence in North America and Europe, and we've gone live with our first site in APAC [Asia-Pacific].” “Even within a single site, we've had to earn the right to…

…said Rueben Scriven, a senior analyst with research firm Interact Analysis, which tracks the automation market. “If a company wanted a good automation solution, they would turn to a company with reputable, innovative hardware. But over time, these systems have gotten commoditized, where by and large the automated equipment you can get from various vendors is going to be similar.” For vendors, said Scriven, hardware commoditization creates a need to differentiate their solutions and create lasting ties to customers. While maintenance and services of automated equipment has been one way to do that, increasingly, it’s software that sets vendors apart,…

…their facilities. AMR sales on the rise Last month, Interact Analysis reported that more than 100,000 mobile robots were deployed globally last year, which it said is the first time that milestone has been met. “The current labor shortage, coupled with strong e-commerce growth, has accelerated manufacturing and logistics companies’ plans to automate,” wrote Ash Sharma, managing director at Interact Analysis and the author of the report. “This has caused sales in mobile robots to spiral, with nearly 70% more vehicles shipped than the year before and a 36% increase in revenues, which rose to nearly $3 billion.” AMRs are…

…Reuben Scriven, who are analysts at the research firm Interact Analysis. Back in March, Stott published a report that forecast a total of 7,300 automated MFCs to be installed globally by 2030, with half of those within the Americas – the US still leading the way. Sounds impressive, but he noted that the rollout of MFCs was slower than previously expected “due to a range of both supply-side and demand-side factors.” In other words, it isn’t all about the problems in the supply chain. On the supply side, Stott reported that 60 systems were on order going into 2021 but…

…sharp increase over the past few years, according to Interact Analysis (see below). It projected the AMR hardware market alone to grow from $1 billion (U.S.) in 2017 to $7 billion in 2022, and that was even before the pandemic. The shift by automotive manufacturers to electric and autonomous vehicles, the mass personalization of goods and services, worldwide e-commerce growth, and worsening labor shortages are driving this growth. In addition, AMRs are starting to provide more value for end users by collecting data to be shared and analyzed in close to real time. This is helpful for inventory management, knowing…
