…in demand. AMRs assisted with picking heavy cases, home appliances, and mixed small and midsized goods. Known for its same- and next-day delivery, JD.com needed to ensure that use experiences were positive and that everything went out in a timely manner. ForwardX said its robots aided workflows in the following environments: JD.com’s home appliance warehouse The relatively heavy weight of such goods makes traditional manual workflows labor-intensive and slow, especially during a period like Singles’ Day, noted ForwardX. A drastic increase in orders would usually require part-time hires working overtime in poor conditions, leading to high error rates and late…

…factories” for the production and manufacturing of its domestic appliance products, Electrolux, a Swedish domestic appliance manufacturer, is embracing 3D printing for the manufacturing of spare parts on demand. With this initiative, Electrolux engineers are solving problems that affect both the manufacturer and the customer. For example, an on-demand service for 3D printing of spare parts lowers the manufacturer’s production, inventory, and maintenance costs once the production of the appliances has stopped, yet the appliances are still in use. The service also eliminates high replacement costs and long processing and shipment times for customers seeking parts for products that are…
