Description

North American Industrial Mobile Robots (AGVs and AMRs) Growth Opportunities


Labor Challenges and Asset-light Business Models Drive Adoption of AGVs and AMRs

Labor shortages, inflation, and higher operational costs will force companies to accelerate the pace of advancement and explore various formulas to upgrade technology. The need to increase efficiencies, handle extreme loads, and customize solutions to customer requirements drive the development of autonomous technologies in warehouses across North America, mainly the United States. Autonomous solution development will accelerate as companies begin to right-size equipment/fleets.

Changes in customer purchase preferences stemming from supply chain challenges and inflation have led to new business models, such as Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS). Customer preferences in shifting to an asset-light operation and alleviating long-term commitment to robot fleets have been crucial to the emergence of new business models.

Logistics, serving, and disinfection are prominent AGV and AMR use cases; however, subsegments within these categories, such as palletizing and sorting, will become the primary future use cases. Hybrid systems allowing customers to use AMRs to perform multiple operations will grow in the future.

This research analyzes market growth trends of autonomous equipment in the US industrial environment, focusing on mobile robots (AGVs and AMRs) for warehousing. It evaluates contributing technologies, market favorability, and government efforts in promoting mobile robots. The report also examines existing infrastructure and upcoming market trends in the coming years.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
