…any system promising greater efficiency, from automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to semi-autonomous and self-driving lift trucks. The industrial robotics market was worth abut $41.7 billion just two years ago, according to Zion Market Research. It could grow to about $81.4 billion—about $250 per person in the U.S.—by 2028 and grow almost 12% year over the next few years, predicted the research firm. Similarly, SPER Market Research forecast that the global market for robot fleet management software will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.02% between 2023 and 2032. Fleet management tools tackle complexity…

…can also be mounted on an automated guided vehicle (AGV), he said. In addition, igus has designed its own gearing and kinematics for other types of robots. The Windows-based AnyApp software uses visual programming to make robots easier to use. “Users can download our free software to test before they invest,” Mühlens said. “It communicates with the cameras and gripper for data such as the tool center point. They can then select an axis and drag and drop onscreen.” ReBeL can be mounted on a mobile robot. Credit: Eugene Demaitre RBTX bundles, free consulting to ease adoption Through igus' expanding…

…adding seats, doors and other parts. The technology is designed to eliminate problems with vibration of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or conveyors and variations in the speed of the production line. To compensate for any unexpected movements or vibrations, once the car body reaches a predefined position, the Compliant Vision Guidance (CVG) camera on the robot arm scans it for consistent reference points such as door edges, taking 30 to 40 images per second to determine whether the attachment point is where it should be and whether any adjustments are necessary.

…integrated wheel system, which includes a gearbox, motor, brake, and controller, for its customers in the automated guided vehicle (AGV) market. Maxon has an option that includes the wheel itself, as well as options that don’t. In many cases, a customer’s exact need may not fall in line with Maxon’s preset catalog of products, he acknowledged. In those situations, Patel said the company works with them to find a solution that fits his or her needs. “It’s not one size fits all,” he said.

…and manufacturing customers. “For a number of years, the AGV [automated guided vehicle] market had to provide guidance for different installations,” said Zate. “Now, AMR technology is so sophisticated, having an AMR replace and AGV is almost a no-brainer because of easier installation.” “We're really well-positioned now to bring full-service offerings to segments beyond our four key markets of 3PLs, retail, healthcare, and industrial,” he added. “Manufacturing was slow for us, but Waypoint opens the door.” “We want to continue to serve Waypoint's customers with our unique capabilities,” Walker said. “We want to bring the same benefits to the manufacturing…

…of that motion. Warehouses are already really good with AGVs and goods-to-person systems, so they just need standardized SLAM line implementations from racking for that last 100 feet. AI and human oversight The component technologies aren't new—why is SLAM line automation getting attention now? Andre: With e-commerce, there are more packages, more variation, and more strain. Companies have focused on robotics upstream, but now there's a logjam. Stretar: It typically takes hundreds of workers in e-commerce facilities to get an object out the door. Packing stations can become a bottleneck. There has been a lot of attention around AI lately,…

…technology will increase.” Spending indications for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) also were up. For 2018, 7% use AGVs, up 1% from last year, while 14% said that they’re evaluating use of AGVs during the net 24 months, which is up 2% from last year. Spending plans for IS didn’t grow as strongly. When asked about new purchases, plans for IT/IS systems were at 37% this year, down from 46% the two previous years. However, when asked about 12-month plans for specific types of IS solutions, such as warehouse management system (WMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, each of these…
