…increasingly aggressive, with suppliers promising as quick as one-hour delivery or in-store pickup of goods. As customers load their virtual shopping carts with an array of items, optimizing the order-fulfillment process is a priority for many organizations looking to be one step (or click) ahead of their competitors. To meet the need for shorter times between order and delivery, packaging and material handling technologies have rapidly evolved. While current strategies such as warehouse execution systems (WES), sortation, rainbow palletizing, and goods-to-person (GTP) systems have certainly helped meet these aggressive order-fulfillment goals, new automation is proliferating and can further improve operations…

…management, as well as lower labor costs, speed up deliveries, and reduce the risk of workplace injury, said Siemens DI. They can also be integrated to achieve digitalization and smart factory goals, the company added. The Siemens AGV kit includes SIMOVE, a standardized platform for applications across industries. Siemens last year expanded it to include an omnidirectional driving module. The kit also includes the SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE, a safety-related servo drive system that covers a wide range of applications in the protective extra-low voltage range (24 to 48 V DC). Servo drives are used extensively when building AGVs. “These compatible controllers…

…also be used to automate food packaging and food delivery, with companies such as Marble [acquired in 2020 by Caterpillar] and Dispatch [acquired by Amazon in 2017] exploring this space. Are there certain types of robots where you expect strong growth? Any that are overhyped? Sharma: Articulated robots: Robotic arms, also known as articulated robots, are fast, reliable, and accurate and can be programmed to do an infinite number of tasks in a variety of environments. They are used in factories to automate execution of repetitive tasks, such as applying paint to equipment or parts. In warehouses, robot arms pick,…

…with each pick. Brightpick Dispatchers consolidate and speed order delivery In most online grocery fulfillment centers, including Rohlik’s, picked items from each picking zone are sent via totes on conveyor belts to a central location for consolidation. Brightpick Dispatcher robots consolidate items arriving from these various picking zones into completed orders to dispatch for delivery, curbside pickup or in-store pickup. Brightpick Dispatchers also enable companies to pre-pick customer orders in advance by storing them in a temporary staging area until they need to be dispatched. This enables warehouses to smooth out picking volumes throughout the day and increase total daily…

…and ongoing interest in robots for materials handling and delivery. Healthcare companies, mostly providers of surgical robotics, were involved in more than $250 million worth of deals, followed by agricultural robots, with more than $130 million in total transactions. Note that this slideshow of the top 10 robotics transactions is not a comprehensive listing of the dozens of deals announced worldwide last quarter. Of course, not every company is public and required to disclose the amount it has obtained or from whom. In addition, companies making several robotics-adjacent technologies, such as software or batteries, have also received funding. Technology journalists…

…you ask, customers care most about product cost or delivery time. The dominance of companies like Amazon has pushed two-day shipping options to become standard in many cases. What the space faces next is a preference and competitive advantage of one-day or same-day shipping demands. And customers are willing to pay for it. Same-day shipping is a multi-billion-dollar opportunity that is expected to grow continuously through 2025 thanks to e-commerce offers and consumers being always connected to the Internet. Meeting this demand requires real-time inventory understanding throughout a supply chain, including options to turn almost any point in a supply…
