Mobile Robots Improve Productivity for Fulfillment Centers

E-commerce has enjoyed significant growth over the last couple of years. The demand for online shopping with quick turnaround delivery has never been higher, causing a huge strain on fulfillment centers to keep up with ever-increasing requests. According to McKinsey & Company, e-commerce has increased 30% above pre-pandemic levels and over 90% of consumers view 2-3-day delivery as a baseline expectation. Fulfillment centers face many challenges like excessive amounts of manual labor, error-prone processes, and difficulty adapting to changing layouts. These challenges lower the facility’s productivity in processing orders and meeting quotas.
