Warehouse Automation Solutions Market – An Objective Assessment of The Trajectory of The Market | Key Players – ABB Ltd., FANUC Corporation, Kuka AG, Yaskawa Electric Corporation

Warehouse automation involve robots that are designed and programmed to perform various material handling tasks. The robots can move from one aisle to another and can handle a wide variety of warehousing tasks, and can also be transferred to other warehouse buildings. There are many types of mobile and fixed robots which synchronously work to convey the inventories across the warehouse. A number of industries has fuelled the deployment of these automation solutions for efficient maneuvering of the inventories. E-commerce retailers are ramping up automation in the warehouses as they race to deliver the goods faster. The interest in warehouse automation solutions continues to grow as they are primarily used for tasks which can be done faster, better, or safely by a machine and also improve productivity of human labor.


Warehouse automation these days are not only restricted to manufacturing, but have increasing demand in other applications as well. The major key drivers pacing up the global warehouse automation solutions market are their ability to simplify and reduce time consumption in various functions, while boosting reliability, accuracy, engaging low work force, and consequently ensuring cost reduction while augmenting productivity. Artificial intelligence has helped to achieve this task and it is majorly driven by the intense competition between offline and online stores as online retailers try hard to reduce the time it takes to deliver products to their customers.

The factors hampering the growth of the global warehouse automation solutions market are high set up cost and lack of skilled labor force. Huge expenditure is entailed to set up and install warehouse robots. Vendors are trying to bring down the cost involved to increase the adoption rate of this technology. Integration of Industry 4.0 with warehouse robots serves as an opportunity for the warehouse automation solutions market.
