AMR 101 - Everything You Need To Know About Autonomous Mobile Robots

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)

The exponential growth of ecommerce over the last few years means supply chain logistics need innovative solutions to answer new challenges.

To support more drastic peaks, expectations of faster delivery times and increasing SKUs (stock-keeping units), ecommerce fulfillment operations are now prioritizing flexibility and scalability.

However, due to increasing labor shortages, resulting in added temporary labor, the traditional approach to scale is no longer enough. Manual operations are too expensive, low in efficiency, and always subject to errors.

With the recent pandemic adding the extra need for human distancing, a new approach is needed. AMRs can support supply chains by addressing these challenges, at scale.

The AMR industry is growing just as quickly as ecommerce, which means it’s becoming more affordable and easier to integrate. Due to the recent pandemic, AMRs are a safer solution for your team, and their loved ones, as they minimize person-to-person contact in warehouses. And, as their software becomes more advanced, they will be able to pick up new tasks.

Robots are becoming more and more common within the supply chain. To stay competitive, warehouses must find the right fit for their operations, hand over tasks to AMRs, and use them to drive efficiency and growth.
