We're really focused on working with equipment manufacturers and retailer customers to solve their problems, doing daily tasks like cleaning and inventory with tools and data. Our target markets are North America and Europe, where there are customers with bigger stores. For me, emerging markets include countries like Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, which all have big retail chains.

The future impacts As holiday delays continue to hinder the global supply chain, things are certain to get worse before they get better. Although it has been 19 months since the pandemic’s initial disruption, experts fear that supply chains won’t return to normalcy in the near future.

We're in negotiations for final products after a six-month pilot. ROI is really complicated, and robots can be very expensive. Are there any applications where AMRs aren't the best fit? Thomason: For the next couple of decades, we'll be discovering different uses for…
