Among the potential benefits of mobile robot fleets is their ability to add operational agility to supply chains.

They don't require fixed infrastructure like conventional conveyors, and users can add or subtract robots as needed for seasonal variations. That said, simply changing the number of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), or self-driving lift trucks in service isn't sufficient to maximize one's return on investment.

In addition to carefully evaluating existing workflows and environments, users should work closely with suppliers or integrators to customize any deployment for their needs.

In this Special Focus Issue, you can learn when human workers "in the loop" are appropriate, whether robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) models can make that initial investment easier, and what you should look for in partners. Even the largest warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing companies know better than to go it alone.
