Warehouse & Logistics

Warehouse automation centers on AMRs, AGVs, automated sortation and AS/RS systems. AMRs have become mainstream because they need no facility modification — key vendors include Geek+, Hikrobot and Locus Robotics. Selection criteria: throughput (units/hour), WMS integration, deployment timeline, and RaaS (pay-per-pick) pricing. For e-commerce, validate peak-season elasticity.

FAQ
AMR vs AGV — what's the difference?
AGVs follow fixed paths (magnetic tape/QR codes) — rerouting means facility work. AMRs navigate by lidar SLAM, so rerouting is a software change. Prefer AMRs for new projects.
Typical payback for warehouse robots?
Picking AMRs are often billed per pick (RaaS) — start when per-unit cost beats labor by 30-50%. Purchased systems typically pay back in 2-3 years.
Should small warehouses automate?
Below ~5,000 orders/day, optimize your WMS and slotting first. Beyond that, AMRs make sense; below it, utilization won't justify the hardware.
