Logistics robotics deals with specialized machines designed to automate manufacturing processes and optimize the supply chain. These robots are often used in large warehouses and storage facilities to store, organize, and transport products with ease. One of the primary applications for such logistics robots is the use of mobile automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in warehouses and storage facilities to transport goods. These are also widely being deployed in hospitals to transport medicine and other hospital essentials such as linen, food, and other miscellaneous products, saving hospital support staff, such as nurses, precious time and energy.
The logistics robotics market is anticipated to grow rapidly with the investment from the large organizations in the market, a conducive environment for the advancement of robotics technology due to increased funding, and the advent of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and other autonomous technologies. This is fuelling demand for such robotic technology in the manufacturing and storage units due to its benefits in increasing efficiency by eliminating human errors and automation for repetitive tasks.
China’s National Development and Reform Commission announced that the country is set to invest over 1 trillion yuan (US$138 billion) in capital from local governments and the private sector over 20 years into robotics. Robot manufacturers in China have been able to massively expand their sales in the domestic market, with local suppliers' annual industrial robot installations in China increasing from 30% in 2020 to 47% in 2023.
According to the International Road Transport Union (IRU), there are currently over three million truck driver positions to be filled in over 36 countries, which is an opportunity for companies to further automate. IRU secretary commented on the situation, stating, “With the rate of newcomers being significantly lower than drivers retiring every year, urgent action is needed now.”
“As consumer demand for faster delivery and a wider variety of products continues to grow, automation has become an essential driver of FANUC's ongoing innovation. By enhancing efficiency and increasing productivity, our wide variety of warehouse solutions not only meet the evolving needs of the industry but also create smarter and more rewarding warehouse jobs. ProMat 2025 provides an excellent platform for FANUC America to demonstrate our commitment to this sector and the critical role we play in it.”
“By partnering with KUKA, we can offer streamlined access to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and our many applications such as CATIA, DELMIA and SOLIDWORKS. This will open up new possibilities for customers to benefit from the virtual world and collaborate and innovate in diverse sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, metalworking, logistics, healthcare and more.”
