…successful by focusing on just four market segments—third-party logistics (3PL), retail and e-commerce, healthcare, and manufacturing. “Within those accounts, we like complexity in terms of volume, multiple SKUs, and many different orders that flow through customer systems,” explained Faulk. “Unlike other robotics companies, we're set up to handle that complexity. We can handle large accounts and their SLAs [service-level agreements] and help ship thousands of units per day.” This year, Locus is building up its inventory to ship thousands of robots to help clients in North America and Europe handle the peak holiday shopping season, he said. “We designed our…

…optimize supply chains, serving manufacturers, distributors, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), and omnichannel retailers. The company, which has offices in Carmel, Ind., and Chicago, also provides consulting and managed services. At ProMat 2023, enVista executives explained their roadmap for helping customers integrate robotics. Last month, MHI accepted the company into its SLAM Industry Group. (In this case, SLAM refers to “scan, label, apply, and manifest,” not simultaneous localization and mapping.) “The last 100 feet of the warehouse are critical for efficient operations, high throughput, and customer satisfaction,” stated enVista.

…Robotics 24/7. “There are multiple instances where sophisticated shippers, 3PLs [third-party logistics providers], and carriers have offloaded responsibilities to CloudSort.” The company also noted that carriers have had to invest in transporation and sortation and pass along the costs, leaving retailers and consumers frustrated when delivery expectations are not met. For the market to grow beyond the recent e-commerce boom, it will have to adopt more distributed services, said CloudSort. Insights and infrastructure CloudSort doesn't determine the cost of shipping a package; it provides data on what resources are available, said Szopa. The company's systems look at everything from warehouse…

…latest automation? Is it all e-commerce? Buena-Franco: We're seeing 3PLs [third-party logistics providers] that would like to have remote capabilities and have labor constraints. We can increase the autonomy level of a fleet by assigning an experienced operator to manage it. He or she can respond to an AGV calling for help and manually operate it, then switch it back to automatic mode after the assist. But we don't stop there; we're also investigating remote operation, so a robot can be rescued from a remote station. We're also hearing more from general industry. Unloading trucks is something we're investigating. Another…
