…of companies having never deployed an automated guided vehicle (AGV), and 70% never implementing an autonomous mobile robot (AMR). Nevertheless, larger facilities are embracing automation, with 50% of those exceeding 1 million sq. ft. having introduced AMRs. E-commerce leads the adoption rate at 39%, with automotive closely behind at 38%. Case picking is everywhere: The majority of respondents (78%) are already using case picking in their operations, with 90% using it in the consumer goods industry, but this task is almost completely performed manually today, said Vecna and CITE. By 2025, the global warehouse automation market could expand to $69…

…late 2022 are using AMRs or automated guided vehicles (AGVs), up from 10% the year before, and 6% two years previous. It also found healthy adoption rates for piece-picking robotics, which use vision technology and artificial intelligence to know how to grasp and place items. In another sign of the increasing focus on integration, there were more software vendors looking to coordinate the missions of multiple AMR fleets. ProMat exhibitors addressing this need included SVT Robotics, GreyOrange, CoEvolution, and BlueBotics, to name a few. In the case of BlueBotics, the first generation for its multi-fleet orchestration targets the about 80…

…to scale up or down fleets. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) have different missions from collaborative robot arms or cobots, but they share similarities in being designed for ease of use and scalability. Managers looking to build or expand robotics deployments must understand their own processes to determine which are best to automate versus keep manual. In this free download, see what robotics suppliers, software providers, and end users have to say about the technologies, business partnerships, and industry trends shaping collaborative mobile robots. Such systems offer advantages over fixed infrastructure including conveyors, but most facilities…

…also talking with Outrider, GreyOrange, and others that provide AGVs. Customers ask about an automation roadmap: “How do we get this under way?” and “Where do we start?” They're asking us for help—“We could do it tomorrow, but it's expensive.” At the same time, so is labor and transportation to wherever the warehouse is located. The declining costs of robotics is finding that meeting point. We're finding all the long-distance or repetitive moves in the warehouse and automating those first. We're putting together a three-year ramp up to full automation. Evaluating automation, micro-fulfillment, and ASRS What does Wagner Logistics look…
