Plus One Robotics showcases ‘advanced palletizing and depalletizing capabilities’

March 24, 2025 by David Edwards

Plus One Robotics has showcased its end-to-end palletizing and depalletizing (pal/depal) capabilities at the recent ProMat 2025 trade show, and also launched its new Partner Portal designed to empower system integrators and solution providers.

Erik Nieves, co-founder and CEO of Plus One Robotics, says: “As the supply chain industry continues to evolve, we recognize the growing demand for flexible, intelligent solutions that can handle the complexities of modern warehousing and distribution.

“Our pal/depal technologies are designed to help our customers increase efficiency and improve productivity – all while maintaining high levels of safety and reliability.” [Read more…] about Plus One Robotics showcases ‘advanced palletizing and depalletizing capabilities’

Common ground: Are mobile robots technologically the same as autonomous cars?

January 8, 2025 by Mark Allinson

For a long time, I’ve been wondering if an autonomous mobile robot – those small wheeled boxes you see moving shelf units and other items in warehouses – could be increased in size, then fitted with a car chassis and body, with a couple of seats inside, and marketed as a road-going, passenger-carrying autonomous vehicle. 

Yes, of course, some serious design refinements of the sketched out idea above would be required and a torrent of regulations would have to be navigated, but beyond that, the internal technologies would not need to change much because, fundamentally, they are the same. Right? Or not?

Actually, I don’t know. I’m not an engineer. But from what’s called a high-level perspective, both AMRs and autonomous vehicles are essentially the same thing or at least perform the same function – carry goods and people around autonomously.

Can humanoid robots solve problems in warehousing?

December 30, 2024 by David Edwards

By Heico Sandee, founder and CEO of Smart Robotics

In the past, automation was perceived primarily as a remedy for labor shortages; today, that’s no longer the case.

Warehouse automation has undergone bouts of evolution, each time becoming more advanced, sophisticated, and integrated into a broader ecosystem of human and machine collaboration.

The humanoid robot market is projected to grow from $2.03 billion in 2024 to $13.25 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate of 45.5 percent, reflecting the increasing demand for intelligent systems capable of transforming industries.

Opinion: Automation planning for employee safety in warehouses

November 1, 2024 by Mark Allinson

By Heico Sandee, founder and CEO of Smart Robotics

Robotics and automation undoubtedly address several safety and efficiency challenges that warehouses have grappled with for years.

While efficiency and productivity are primary motivations behind automation, warehouses must prioritize the safety and well-being of those who spend most of their time around these automated systems – the employees.

Productivity and profitability mean little if warehouses are unsafe. Numbers speak for themselves as the National Safety Council reports that a worker injury costs companies an average of $38,000 in direct expenses, while indirect costs can amount up to a total of around $150,000 per accident.

Humanoid robots are a ‘publicity stunt and serve no purpose in automated warehouses’, says Exotec

October 18, 2024 by Mark Allinson

In a blistering critique, established warehouse automation company Exotec says “useless” humanoid robot prototypes are a “publicity stunt and serve no purpose in automated warehouses”, adding that they “discredit the warehouse industry”.

Robotics systems have evolved significantly in the past decade, evolving from prototypes to fully established technologies across a range of industries.

Warehouses are a major area where robots have made a significant impact. While automated robotics systems can now fulfil increasingly complex tasks, humanoid robots are being touted as the next big thing in some quarters.
