…notice. As well as demands for ever more rapid delivery. An AMR solution usually presents several major benefits compared to fixed automation: it is more cost-effective, it is faster to deploy, it is more flexible, and it is easier to scale. New mobile robot solutions are enabling robots to select individual totes and bring them to pickers, instead of bringing whole racks, resulting in major efficiency improvements. Meanwhile, combining sophisticated software management systems with the wide variety of AMR platforms now available gives the option of knitting different robot types together into a single solution. Ultimately, this presents the possibility…
