…robotics in DCs is robust. According to analysis by ABI Research, by 2025, more than 4 million commercial robots will be installed in more than 50,000 warehouses, up from 4,000 warehouses using robots in 2018. The ABI study looked mainly at AMRs, but also considered picking arms, autonomous lift trucks, and some types of automated guided vehicles. Analyst firm IDC, in a study from December 2018, forecast that robotics spending across industries would be $103.4 billion worldwide in 2019, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9% over 2018. While IDC doesn’t forecast just for AMRs in warehousing, it…

…from MiR’s global reach and local support will continue. ABI Research, a market-foresight advisory firm providing strategic guidance on the most compelling transformative technologies, last year estimated that the installed base for RaaS will grow from 4,442 units in 2016 to 1.3 million in 2026. The yearly revenue from RaaS providers is expected to increase from $217 million in 2016 to nearly $34 billion in 2026. “The Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model of delivering autonomous mobile robots is helping to bring automation in the form of robotics to new markets that might otherwise not be able to make investments in this technology,”…

…is expected to be strong for the foreseeable future. ABI research expects today’s automated warehouses worldwide to climb from 4,000 to 50,000 by 2023. The firm says those facilities will have four million robots. The International Federation of Robotics projects 14% annual growth in robot sales globally through 2021. In North America, non-automotive robot sales were up 17% last year over 2017, explains Jeff Burnstein, president of the Association for Advancing Automation, in this month’s NextGen: The Interview. Just as important, venture capital is flowing to robot startups. GreyOrange raised $140 million last year, bringing the total raised to $170…

…billion in hardware and related systems revenue),” according to ABI Research’s white paper: The Industrial Revolution, the Top Trends and Takeaways from Hannover Messe 2019. “These systems will produce more than US$360 billion worth of parts and end products each year (up from US$6.8 billion today) and nearly US$2 trillion in sum by the end of the next decade.” That amazing growth would be thanks to the real benefits additive manufacturing provides, allowing engineers to create new designs that mix materials or vary materials throughout a part to achieve specific structural characteristics. Other processes allow for a wholesale redesign where…

…topped four of the 12 ranking criteria, according to ABI Research. Stratasys was closely followed by 3D Systems, Desktop Metal and GE Additive in overall rankings. Newcomer Desktop Metal took the overall top spot in innovation. The Additive Manufacturing Platform Ranking competitive assessment ranked 10 major vendors of the technology—3D Systems, Carbon, Desktop Metal, Digital Alloys, EOS, ExOne, GE Additive, HP, Renishaw and Stratasys—using ABI Research’s innovation/implementation criteria framework. Each vendor was analyzed based on a combination of AM technology process, material science, software, process and application adaptability, go-to-market strategy, revenue and bookings, availability, customer references, partnerships, cost and channel…

…“Simulation in Automotive: Training and Validating Autonomous Control Systems,” ABI Research estimates that accruing the billions of miles necessary to establish autonomous systems’ trustworthiness would require “the deployment of at least 3 million unproven autonomous vehicles over the course of 10 years.” If you consider the market pressures developers have to contend with, it becomes clear that this approach won’t cut it. Taking this tack, there simply isn’t enough time to evaluate the elusive “corner cases,” or rare situations that seldom occur—situations like the sun shining directly into a car’s camera or the effects of inclement weather. Because of these…

…enabling the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) according to ABI Research. However, the inherent diversity, complexity, technology fragmentation, and more stringent ROI and KPI requirements of industrial environments are key obstacles which wireless solution providers must overcome to build scale across multiple use cases. Those use cases range from real-time location systems (RTLS) and asset tracking to industrial wearables, condition-based monitoring, augmented reality (AR), and robotics applications, according to ABI, a market-foresight advisory firm providing strategic guidance on the most compelling transformative technologies. “Though wireless technologies have made some inroads within industrial and manufacturing environments in recent years, wireless technologies…

In a recent report, ABI Research, a market-foresight advisory firm, outlines how technologies fit together with each other in Smart Manufacturing. The report identifies eight transformative technologies: ● Additive manufacturing ● Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) ● Augmented reality (AR) ● Blockchain ● Digital twins ● Edge intelligence ● Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platforms ● Robotics According to ABI, The manufacturing sector has already seen increased adoption of IIoT platforms and edge intelligence. Over the next ten years, manufacturers will start to piece together the other new technologies that will eventually lead to more dynamic factories less…

A recent technology survey by ABI Research of management-level decision makers at manufacturing companies revealed that the adoption of collaborative robots among manufacturers is strong and ongoing. A full 13% of the companies surveyed have collaborative systems currently in operation, a significant percentage especially given that commercial class systems only became readily available beginning in 2014. Another 15% indicated that they expect to have collaborative robots at work within the next 12 months. Manufacturing firms with more than 250 employees were much more likely to have collaborative systems in operation or have that intention in the near term. “Although industrial…
