While most AMR companies have primarily focused on developing new products, the future of the industry is moving towards system integration. For mobile robots to be truly effective in automating processes, they need to seamlessly connect with other equipment and systems to achieve complete process automation.

In recent years, the industry has seen a rapid increase in the adoption of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), as their ability to automate a variety of tasks has proven invaluable. With advancements in technology, the use of AMRs will keep increasing in the coming years. In this article, we will discuss four major trends that are expected to shape the growth of the AMR industry in 2023.

System Integration Will Be the Main Focus

While most AMR companies have primarily focused on developing new products, the future of the industry is moving towards system integration. For mobile robots to be truly effective in automating processes, they need to seamlessly connect with other equipment and systems to achieve complete process automation. This requires a system integration approach that can effectively coordinate multiple systems and processes. As such, AMR manufacturers are expected to become system integrators, providing end-to-end solutions that connect all engineering processes.

Standardizing Cross-Model and Brand Dispatching to Meet Customer Needs

The lack of compatibility between dispatching systems for different brands and models of AMRs has been a major challenge in the industry. To address this issue, there is a growing consensus about the need for interface standardization and unified communication data interfaces. By doing so, different brands and models of AMRs can be integrated into the same dispatch system, leading to increased efficiency and cost savings.

Moving from Breadth to Depth in Application

The breadth of applications for AMRs is impressive, but many applications still involve simple material handling tasks. As such, there is tremendous potential for AMRs to be used for deeper integration into the production process. By integrating with production technology, AMRs can become production equipment rather than just logistics handling devices. This will allow businesses to streamline their operations and improve efficiency at every level.

China's AMRs Will Expand Overseas

Chinese companies are already well-positioned to meet the growing global demand for industrial mobile robots. Thanks to advancements in product technology and implementation, Chinese enterprises now have sufficient competitiveness to enter and thrive in overseas markets. Currently, some leading companies such as Youibot have achieved considerable success in overseas markets, and their future deployment in these markets will further deepen. Apart from these leading companies, more and more enterprises will embark on the path of going global to expand their business scope.

In conclusion

The future of the AMR industry is promising, and Youibot is uniquely positioned to lead the way as an innovative high-tech company with a core focus on robot research and development. With completely independent intellectual property rights for their core algorithms in mobile robots, Youibot Robotics has gained extensive experience in unmanned transformation of business scenarios. Their commitment to providing comprehensive products and solutions covering intelligent manufacturing, intelligent inspection, and maintenance across the entire industry is based on their expertise in AGVs (mobile robots). As the industry continues to evolve, we can expect companies like Youibot to set the standard for system integration, cross-brand dispatching standardization, deepening applications, and overseas expansion. This will undoubtedly increase the adoption of mobile robots and AMRs across different industries as essential tools for automation and efficiency, offering significant benefits for businesses around the globe.
