Increased productivity and delivered
efficiency improvements are now at the core of stakes when it comes to
Warehouse Robotics industry.
In effect, Robotics are increasingly being leveraged within
warehouses to increase productivity and deliver efficiency improvements. Innovators in the market are developing
intelligent and collaborative robots to help manage the increased flow of goods
through modern warehouses and support picking and packing strategies more
aligned to the needs of today's omni-channel commerce.
Five companies including Locus Robotics, Fetch Robotics, Rethink
Robotics, Clearpath Robotics, and GreyOrange were named as IDC Innovators in
the warehouse robotics market for 2016.
For those who are unfamiliar,
Locus Robotics uses sophisticated mapping software for quick set-up
and deployment of robots within a warehouse setting. Fetch Robotics provides a "robot as a service" business
model, offering a cost-effective solution for businesses who might otherwise
select a non-robotics option due to cost constraints. Rethink Robotics' software allows for ease of set-up and
operability with embedded safety features that enable robots to work
collaboratively with humans. Clearpath
Robotics makes two self-driving vehicle models enabling factories and
warehouses to deploy a fleet of vehicles that can move a wide range of
materials. GreyOrange offers a
robotic system that helps automate inventory management.
