They say that timing is everything. When it comes to robotic materials handling, the time is now. Talked about for years, mobile, unit handling and piece picking robotics may still be emerging technologies, but early adopters are finding that they are reliable, productive and cost effective in the right application.
To prove that point, in just the last year, Modern has featured an eyewear manufacturer that relies on piece picking robots working in tandem with automated storage to speed up its cycle time; a 3PL utilizing mobile robots in an e-commerce fulfillment center; and a major CPG manufacturer using robotic layer picking technology to build mixed pallets
In this electronic publication, we feature the best of Modern’s robotics coverage over the last few years. We’ll look at why early adopters are interested in robotics today and how the technology is evolving. You’ll also find case studies that illustrate how early adopters are putting different robotic technologies to work in their facilities. I hope you’re as excited about the robotics revolution as I am.
