E-Commerce Boom
the challenge

E-commerce is driving supply chain evolution

The pandemic has permanently accelerated the e-commerce market by 5 years and exacerbated by the already problematic labor shortage. 94% in the US will buy the same or more online after COVID-19 ends.

For 3PLs, warehouse space can be constrained by rapid growth and expansion fueled by e-commerce and seasonal peaks, requiring up to three times the distribution space of traditional retail. Space may also be poorly utilized due to legacy equipment such as conveyor lines, racks, and other fixed infrastructure. 

Automation brings both opportunity and challenges for 3PLs. Competitive 3PLs need an automation solution to help them not only keep up with demand but can be deployed and re-configured easily with no new infrastructure requirements.

AMR Advantages

Flexible automation is a necessity

Customers of 3PLs can change periodically and every customer is unique. Implementing fixed automation may serve the requirements of an existing customer, but leave 3PLs unable to adapt to the requirements of both existing and future customers. Fixed automation is not just expensive, but it is also difficult to implement in an existing facility without limiting the capacity of that facility in the process.

Flexible automation enabled by a fleet of AMRs provides increased efficiency needed to optimize any type of picking operation, but also allows 3PLs to easily customize and redeploy automation from one customer account to another. AMRs can also use a Robot as a Service (RaaS) model that provides the ability to change the type of AMR being used if the needs of a 3PL change.
