How it works

Robots used

  • Palletizing Robot
  • Cobot

Ways to buy it

  • Raas — a subscription covering robot, software and support.
  • Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
  • Rental — the machine for days or weeks.

Bot or Not?

A robot makes sense when…

  • The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
  • It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
  • You need data you will compare over time
  • You need eyes on it right now

Hire a human when…

  • It is small, low and one-off
  • It needs hands, judgement or a repair
  • Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
  • Nobody has defined the job yet

Here's the catch for this job

  • RaaS lowers upfront cost; check minimum term and per-pick fees.
  • Ask for references with similar SKU profiles and throughput.
  • Integration with your WMS is often the long pole.
