We’ve reached another year, and the robotics industry has already ramped up production. Technological advancements set the stage for exciting developments in robots everywhere, and organizations in need of automation can use these machines to their advantage.
As we turn the calendar to 2025, and specifically in this Special Focus Issue, we have honed in on mobile robots of all types. You will find content covering the wide (but not complete) range of mobile robots in this edition, from goods-to-person offerings to heavy machinery. AMRs continue growing in adoption across industry verticals, and I have no doubt that will continue this year.
We’ve also created a special ProMat 2025 preview section in this SFI. You will find over 50 different products that will be on display at the show in March. I’m excited for Chicago, and this primer will set the stage for ProMat 2025.
