Webinar: how mobile robots can bolster warehouse operations

Wednesday, November 29, 2023

Warehouses are key to the supply chain, demanding seamless orchestration of product handling, tracking, and movement. Mobile robots, including automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), are essential tools to augment warehouse efficiency. These technologies not only streamline product transportation but also reduce dependency on human labor, thereby optimizing operational costs.

Despite their potential, the adoption of mobile robots in warehouses remains low. This webinar aims to explore the challenges hindering wider adoption, explore the benefits of integrating AGVs and AMRs, and equip OEMs and suppliers with insights to position themselves as reliable partners in the mobile robotics space.

The content for this webinar is based on The Mobile Robot Guide’s market research into this subject and the recently published report: The Automated Warehouse: Supporting Growth of AGVs and AMRs in the Warehouse.

By the end of this webinar, participants will:

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape of AGV and AMR usage in warehouses, including historical adoption trends and recent industry statistics.
• Learn how to build a robust use case by identifying end-user needs and challenges, and explore practical examples of successful robot deployments.
• Understand the specific challenges faced by warehouse operators when deploying AGVs and AMRs, including labor shortages, budget constraints, space limitations, integration complexities, and skill gaps.
• Acquire actionable directives for mobile robot OEMs and suppliers to better serve warehouse operators, including strategies for addressing budget concerns, proactively recommending deployments, developing flexible solutions, and forming a network of trusted partners.
