Glīd launches ‘world-first’ unmanned autonomous road-to-rail dual mobility platform

July 18, 2025 by David Edwards

Glīd Tech, a dual-use logistics company specializing in autonomous, electrified road-to-rail mobility, has unveiled “the world’s first” unmanned, dual-mode Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform at the New Mobility Futures event. (See video below.)

The Glīd platform is built to serve the evolving demands of freight, defense, and industrial automation by uniting Rāden, a hybrid-electric unmanned ground vehicle, with EZRA-1SIX, Glīd’s AI-powered orchestration software.

Freight and defense logistics are at a breaking point. Legacy infrastructure, labor shortages, carbon mandates, and geopolitical instability have exposed deep inefficiencies in how goods move. [Read more…] about Glīd launches ‘world-first’ unmanned autonomous road-to-rail dual mobility platform

Gartner predicts one in 20 supply chain managers will manage robots, not humans, by 2030

July 16, 2025 by David Edwards

Eighty percent of humans will engage with smart robots on a daily basis, and one in 20 supply chain managers will manage robots, rather than humans, by 2030, according to business management consultancy Gartner.

Organizations are placing greater emphasis on enhancing the capabilities of their existing workforce by supplementing with robotics due to factors like labor scarcity and rising costs.

Smart robots have been identified by chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) as an important investment area, though many acknowledge their organization lacks internal robotics expertise to maximally leverage these innovative technologies.

Shenzhen’s ‘penguin’ robots ride the metro to restock shops in world-first delivery test

July 16, 2025 by David Edwards

In a global first for urban logistics, a fleet of penguin-shaped delivery robots has begun using Shenzhen’s metro system as part of an integrated supply chain, marking a new milestone in automated goods distribution.

Developed by VX Logistics, a subsidiary of China’s Vanke Group, the autonomous robots were tested on Monday on Shenzhen Metro Line 2. The robots boarded a train at Wanxia Station, rode alongside passengers, and exited at their destinations to deliver goods to shops inside metro stations – without any human assistance.

The pilot project stands out not only for its novelty but for how it redefines the role of robots in supply chains. While delivery robots in the US and Europe are typically limited to short-range “last mile” use cases – navigating sidewalks to deliver food or parcels – Shenzhen’s system integrates robots into the existing metro infrastructure, enabling what could be called “middle-mile” automation.
