…adapt to sudden changes. My e-commerce journey began at Amazon in the U.S., where I used my skills in mathematics to optimize supply chains. It was while working at Amazon that I realized shipping is the biggest cost for many online retailers. I also realized that most of the continuous improvements were coming from the hardware side. What was lacking was the sophisticated software to make different hardware work together more efficiently. Advanced software allows automation flexibility of a type that has never been possible until now. One option it enables is the integration of mobile robots from different vendors,…

…last-mile perspective instead of coming out of like an Amazon mega fulfillment center,” Cherewka added. He acknowledged that e-commerce volumes are down a bit compared with last year and 2020, but volumes remain high overall. “I think one of the 3PL [third-party logistics] sites we're at, their peak volumes goes up 6x around this time of the year, so it is still as crazy as ever, maybe not just as crazy as last year,” said Cherewka. Autonomous forklifts grow in popularity Like OTTO Motors, Vecna’s counterbalanced forklift has been very popular. It has become the company’s most popular lift truck,…

Amazon Go stores use cameras and intelligent software to track purchases and charge customers as they leave the premises, replacing cashier kiosks. Boston Dynamics' Spot quadruped can perform dangerous surveying tasks at construction sites. As Sanders said, robots can perform the tasks that people don't want to do, supporting fulfillment in spite of workforce shifts. Logistics picks up on robotics Warehouse operators and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) are making healthy investments in automation for materials handling. For instance, shipping giant Maersk last year acquired Visible Supply Chain Management (SCM) for $838…

Amazon Robotics Details Development of Proteus Mobile Robot at A3’s AMR and Logistics Week

Found in Robotics News & Content, with a score of 17.67

October 25, 2022

BOSTON—As the head of Amazon.com Inc.’s autonomous mobility technology and product development program, Mikell Taylor understands what it takes to make robotic systems that scale. She was a key figure in the Seattle-based company's development of the Proteus industrial autonomous mobile robot (AMR), which was unveiled earlier this year. It’s the first AMR to come from the team at Amazon Robotics, and it will be used in-house and not sold in the commercial market. The robotics team was formed after the e-commerce giant bought Kiva Systems in 2012. Taylor spoke earlier this month at the Association for Advancing Automation’s (A3)…


Plus One Robotics Parcel Handling Systems Surpass 500M Picks

…no single player in the robot arm ecosystem, despite Amazon, Ocado, Kindred, and FedEx,” he added. “Consolidation will happen, but Plus One is fortunate. We started with the application rather than the technology. The only metric that matters for us is the number of picks around the world.” “We've had a lot of success with mixed depalletizing, which people don't want to do,” said Nieves. “Companies want to reach boxes at the bottom, not the top at induction.” “We say, 'Robots work, people rule,' because people are more flexible. They can begin decanting and then do packout and then do…

…proponents. Next-day delivery, made omnipresent by leaders such as Amazon, grew to include same-day delivery in many markets. Consumers also showed an eagerness to capitalize on the convenience e-commerce offers in new sectors. The U.S. Department of Commerce’s latest survey estimates that e-commerce accounted for 14.5% of all retail sales in the fourth quarter of 2021 and that online purchases were $870.8 billion for the year, a 14.2% increase over 2020. The takeaway is clear: The pandemic prompted people to shop online, and many will continue to do so even after they return to brick-and-mortar stores. This is important for…


Alert Innovation Agrees to Be Aquired by Walmart as Micro-Fulfillment Market Grows

Found in Robotics News & Content, with a score of 13.53

October 07, 2022

…Innovation said it will continue to operate under the Alert Innovation brand based in the Boston area. Walmart rival Amazon.com Inc. acquired Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics) for $775 million in 2012, encouraging the growth of mobile robot providers to serve the rest of the industry. Since Alert Innovation a leading provider of automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) for the grocery industry, it remains to be seen how its acquisition will affect the micro-fulfillment market. The global market for micro-fulfillment centers could be worth about $36 billion by 2030, according to Research and Markets.
