Navigating the Future of Automation with Autonomous Mobile Robots
June 14,2023

 In this article, we will discuss five important trends that are likely to make more and more companies start using autonomous mobile robots for automation purposes. 

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are robotic systems that can perform tasks and navigate in their environment without external control or guidance from humans. They are equipped with sensors, algorithms, and onboard computing power to perceive their surroundings, make decisions, and execute actions independently. These robots are designed to operate in various environments, such as indoor spaces, warehouses, factories, or outdoor settings. In this article, we will discuss five important trends that are likely to make more and more companies start using autonomous mobile robots for automation purposes. 

Trend 1: Investments in automation on the rise again

Following periods of uncertainty caused by factors such as war, the energy crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies were compelled to delay their automation projects. However, as technology advances and stability is regained, businesses in logistics, electronics, and automotive industries are gradually resuming their automation projects. It is expected that by the end of 2023, the level of automation investments will become normal.

This increased demand for automation solutions reflects the need for new logistics approaches and expanded automation to maintain competitiveness in the global market.

Trend 2: Solving labor shortages through automation

As markets stabilize and production approaches pre-pandemic levels, companies face a significant challenge: a shortage of skilled labor.

Automation offers a solution by optimizing resource utilization and freeing up human workers for more complex tasks. Additionally, autonomous mobile robots can help make work less boring by doing repetitive and physically demanding tasks.

Trend 3: Involvement of human colleagues is crucial

As more companies invest in autonomous mobile robots and automation, it is essential to address employees' concerns and uncertainties about their roles and opportunities. Companies should communicate clearly before, during, and after the implementation of robots to allay fears and facilitate a successful transition.

To involve employees effectively, companies can provide training, where employees can gain a fundamental understanding of products and robot functionality. By actively engaging employees from the start, companies can showcase how robots can make a positive difference to future work, ensuring a smooth integration process.

Trend 4: Robust software solutions for larger robot fleets

With increased automation investments, the number of autonomous mobile robots within companies is steadily rising. Major global companies, in particular, possess extensive fleets of robots performing various tasks across multiple locations. To optimize the performance of these fleets, robust software solutions are crucial.

Efficient fleet management requires intuitive programming adjustments for new tasks without manual reconfiguration of each autonomous mobile robot. Intelligent software solutions are also necessary for routine operations, such as automatic charging, collision avoidance, and integration with existing systems like ERP. Furthermore, data collection and analysis through software enable continuous improvement in robot efficiency and operational reliability.

Trend 5: Meeting market demands for flexibility

The market for mobile robots and automation is rapidly evolving, with companies increasingly adopting mobile robots for a broader range of work processes. Flexibility is essential, both in selecting autonomous mobile robots and accessories and in the associated software. Companies need adaptable automation solutions that can meet their specific production requirements and integrate seamlessly into their existing operations.
