…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…

Operators are turning to robotics to help transition away from just-in-time inventory management practices to more flexible supply chain operations. Part of the move has been driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. With disruptions to the global supply chain, many manufacturers and distributors struggled to find adequate components, particularly in automotive and electronics. Now, they are looking to have more parts on hand in cases of disruptions and to plan ahead. Robotics suppliers said they can provide customers with greater tools that allow for more efficient onsite management and predictive data analytics. For example, Attabotics claimed that its products can help…

…you can add more automation and people into a robotic-enabled workflow to handle spikes in demand, as well as software capabilities and the ability to integrate with other systems. Mobile robots come in various form factors and payload capacities. Some larger AMRs are designed to transport heavier loads, while assistive-pick AMRs work in concert with human workers, and goods-to-person (GTP) systems bring goods to picker workstations. Warehouse labor shortage encourages automation While AMRs aren’t mainstream yet, warehouse operators are struggling to find enough hourly workers and are turning to automation for help. “The challenge is that there aren’t enough people…

…and materials handling. Automate offered a varied mix of robotics companies In my two days at Automate, that momentum was visible in the solid attendance at the event as well as the number and variety of exhibitors. By variety, I especially mean more AMR vendors with larger booths, compared with past Automate events. Yes, the biggest exhibit spaces tended to be from major robotic arm providers such as FANUC, Universal Robots, KUKA, and others, but mobile robots were to be found at 20-plus booths, not just a handful. Then there were major, diversified technology providers such as ABB, Teradyne, or…
