…robots (AMRs), automated lift trucks, piece-picking and goods-to-person systems, robotic putwalls, and even shuttles in an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS). While they can all operate in the same facility, they don’t typically interface with or talk to one another. They are islands of automation. That’s a blast from the past that wasn’t a compliment in the 1980s and 1990s, either. Furthermore, there’s the matter of pacing and sharing the workload across those robots so store shipments can be made on schedule. Quite simply, how do they get the work done? Good old-fashioned inventory management is both part of…

…time. With the introduction of new automated technologies, especially robotics, the challenges to integration are back in the spotlight. Operators don’t want to just drop a new technology into an existing process. Instead, they want to combine technologies to create new and better processes. It’s a reason that the theme at Trew’s booth was “orchestrating” systems. Enabling integration was the whole premise behind SVT Robotics, which made the live integration of automation components the centerpiece of its booth and was the company I heard mentioned more often than any other. But it was also the subject of much of Softeon's…

…MHI. [Editor's note: Peerless Media, the parent organization of Robotics 24/7 and Modern Materials Handling, is a partner of MHI.] Looking back on the industry changes since 2019, some challenges persist. Labor availability remains a core driver for technology adoption, as reaffirmed by MHI’s “Annual Industry Report” released at ProMat. This year’s report and survey found that hiring and retaining qualified workers remained the top industry challenges, followed closely by issues like supply chain disruption, out-of-stock situations, and rising customer demands. It’s been a tumultuous few years since that last live ProMat, dominated first by the COVID-19 pandemic and then…
