The Warehouse Robotics are just an extension of Industrial Robotics intended for applications in warehouses and distribution centers. Over the years, Industrial Robots have evolved themselves from being a novel product to a commodity. Some of the prominent end-user industries deploying industrial robots include automotive, food and beverage, manufacturing, retail distribution centers, semiconductor and many others. Among all the industrial robots the gantry robots, articulated robots and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are widely used for warehouse operations as to pick, place, palletize, and sort objects. Use of these robots together can eliminate human existence in the warehouse and perform autonomously.
The global warehouse robotics market is classified according to the types of robots used such as fixed or mobile robots, the warehouse functions, components used in the robots, end-user industries and geographic region. The gantry and articulated robots have been segmented under Fixed Robots category while mobile robots market deal with the utilization of AGVs in warehouses.
