…provide users with a system that provides “end-to-end robot orchestration.” Mountain View, Calif.-based InOrbit has two customer bases—robotics vendors and end users. Its clients work in facilities ranging from warehouses and manufacturing facilities to hospitals and hotels. The company has been actively involved in promoting interoperability. It has demonstrated its software working with a range of standards, including the MassRobotics AMR Interoperability Standard and VDA 5050. Pestoni noted that InOrbit supports these standards efforts because they are addressing one of the key issues that customers face when they have multiple robotic systems – fragmentation. Warehouses can't expand automation without orchestration…

…very different, but they both work around people, require orchestration, and have willing marketplaces.” “We like [ASI's] industry-agnostic approach—it's not focused on a single vertical but is instead building on years of experience accelerating automation in an outdoor format,” he said. “We're constantly searching for products and partners that do those things.” However, while the cost of cameras and lidar sensors has dropped thanks to smartphone and autonomous vehicle development, scaling depends as much on understanding applications as as it does on enabling components, Watkins said. “ASI has implemented its stack in real-world environments, and it leverages different navigation equipment…

…Robots (CRN) and software such as its GreyMatter fulfillment orchestration platform can meet growing and shifting market demand. Labor and automation While e-commerce demand accelerated earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic, has it subsided now, or is it still a strong driver for adopting automation? Kohli: It's still a driver. Automation helps hedge against labor shortages, growing demands on the warehouse, and the need for greater safety within the warehouse. For us, the demand has much more to do with labor availability than the effects of COVID. Unemployment rates are back at pre-pandemic levels. The industry is short 1.4 million people.…
