…focused tasks and workflows that are ripe for automation gains with the current level of AI and robotics maturation. By contrast, he explains, a manipulation robot for the consumer world—envision a mobile robotic housekeeper—would have to be capable of doing a much larger universe of tasks that would stretch the limits of what robots can do. “Logistics presents a more controlled environment and problem set that is surmountable with the current level of technology and what robots are capable of doing,” says Galluzzo. “Logistics and warehouse fulfillment are right at the intersection of current technology and market need.” Manufacturers have…

…of a predictive maintenance methodology. Predictive maintenance solutions will gain more traction as industrial customers become aware of the growing maintenance costs and downtime caused by unexpected machinery failures. The bigger players have been using predictive maintenance for more than a decade. Small- and medium-sized companies in the manufacturing sector also can reap its advantages by keeping repair costs low and meeting initial operational costs for new operations. Although it evidently offers more business benefits than corrective maintenance, predictive maintenance is also a step ahead of preventive maintenance, as maintenance work is scheduled at preset intervals to reduce the probability…

…complexity. So grocers also need to find upstream productivity gains to offset the costs of e-grocery.” “We see the U.S. changing much faster than other regions, and that is why we have decided to focus our MFC activities there,” said SSI Schaefer. RaaS helps retailers Another trend helping retailers adopt automation is the robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model, said the report. RaaS offers to reduce capital expenditures (capex) on outright purchases of equipment by transferring service requirements to third-party providers as operational expenses (opex). “I think that there are a select few, probably including Walmart that will go down the capex…
