Analyst Perspective:

Autonomous mobile robots are poratable solution carried to the workstation to perform the task. They are used in logistics, manufacturing, distribution, and other applications. Autonomous mobile robots can transport goods within a warehouse or factory. They can also be used to pick and place items or to assemble products. It can perform various manufacturing tasks, such as material handling, painting, and assembly. They can also be used to inspect products or perform quality control checks.

Autonomous technologies and IoT advancements created an environment for adopting autonomous mobile robots across various industries. AMRs allow automotive manufacturers to streamline the material flow, achieve efficient production, and shorten lead time. Moreover, as automotive manufacturers prioritize flexibility over volume, with the adoption of Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing techniques, AMRs are becoming increasingly popular as a logistic solution that can adapt rapidly to changing production processes and layouts. The growing adoption of robotics in vehicle manufacturing is accelerating production. Automotive manufacturers, such as BMW and Toyota, are investing in deploying robotics in manufacturing to increase their share in the automotive market. In 2020, BMW partnered with Nvidia to develop automotive mobile robots for internal use in their factories for automated material handling.

Report Scope:

The advantage of an AMR is its ability to understand the operating environment, which enables it to navigate around obstacles and operate safely in the presence of human operators. In contrast to an automated guided vehicle, which needs some form of guided paths, such as QR codes or magnetic tape, to navigate its environment; an AMR uses data from laser scanners, cameras, and other sensors to understand its operating environment and make decisions regarding its functions such as movement.

The high labor cost makes AMR an attractive option for businesses to reduce operating costs and labor shortages. Apart from labor shortage challenges, safety is another critical factor in shifting toward leveraging AMRs for warehouse automation. For instance, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the US Department of Labor, over 11% of forklifts are typically used to move and transport pallets within a warehouse. Thus, the emergence of AMRs helps reduce the reliance on labor for shifting goods and significantly improves safety measures related to warehouses.
