…up and install a robotics infrastructure, and monitor and service the assets that require specialist knowledge and skills. In an already capital-intensive industry, buying and servicing robots—depreciable assets—also means acquiring additional expenses. While these expenses are easy to identify, we see companies challenged with making the business case for scaling automation. We’ve identified several key actions companies can take now…

…cost, they require no complicated infrastructure. But they also have many shortcomings, according to Adrian Jennings, VP of real-time location systems at Ubisense. “For example, when people are turning their backs toward each other, the devices may overestimate the distance between them. Their signals could be blocked by human bodies. And [the devices] don’t recognize barriers, like walls,” he observes.…

…further investment in automation. As infrastructures within warehouses and fulfillment centers become more automated, Feuell said maintenance technicians will play a crucial role in helping limit downtime. Companies can leverage data-driven insights from a connected architecture of software and sensors through solutions like Honeywell Intelligrated’s Connected Assets to perform preventative maintenance to maximize uptime. Direct-to consumer e-commerce sales continue to…

…This technology uses some guidance infrastructure to transmit instructions to compatible trucks, overriding manual controls to allow for precision guidance. With ZaP guidance, the most efficient paths are always taken, says Kaumo. “It’s a semi-automated path to start seeing some of the benefits of automation,” he says. Lift truck provider Crown Equipment offers autonomous trucks such as a tow tractor…
