Humanoids are all the hype now, but they’re only the flashiest members of a much larger robot family – mobile manipulators. Until recently, these #robots were stuck in R&D labs and pilot projects. Too expensive. Too rigid. Not quite ready for the messy realities of the real world. That’s changed. Thanks to rapid advances in AI, hardware, and mechanical design, mobile manipulators are finally crossing the chasm – from prototype to production. Next week at the Robotics Summit & Expo, I'll be diving into: 👉 the breakthroughs that made this leap possible 👉 why logistics is leading the charge in real-world adoption 👉 how mobile manipulators are already transforming live operations #innovation #robotics Eugene Demaitre Mike Oitzman Steve Crowe Brianna Wessling

Time-to-deploy can have a huge impact on #automation ROI. Every extra day of implementation means missing out on cost savings, performance gains, and tying up capital that could be used elsewhere. So, what slows things down? 1️⃣ 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: how easily the automation software connects to your WMS. 2️⃣ 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: lead times from vendor. 3️⃣ 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: floor flatness, electrical, fire safety. 4️⃣ 𝐎𝐧-𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: how difficult is the solution to install. One of the key advances mobile #robots like Brightpick have is they’re faster and easier to install. Shorter lead times. No fixed infrastructure. Minimal retrofitting. Lower complexity. In automation, speed of deployment = time to value = ROI #supplychain

Who doesn’t want more storage density, right? 📦 But here’s the catch: density and throughput are often at odds. Stacking products tightly (e.g. using cube storage or double-deep configurations) can slow down picking. And if your SKU profile is flat, that only makes things worse. That’s why leading nutrition brand The Feed turned to Brightpick. ✅ All inventory is immediately accessible ✅ Robots pick directly in-aisle ✅ Orders go out faster, maximizing throughput from the facility 📺 Watch the full case study on our website.

Not saving enough labor even with #automation? That’s a sign your system might not be pulling its weight. And in a few years, you may find yourself ripping it out to start over. At Brightpick, we help customers maximize labor savings from day one: ✅ Robotic picking ✅ Fully autonomous overnight picking and buffering ✅ Automated replenishment ✅ Assisted picking for fast-moving SKUs Why stop halfway when full automation is within reach? Set your #supplychain up for long-term success and get a good night’s sleep knowing you’re covered. 😴 #logistics

What does it take to scale e-grocery in one of the most demanding markets in Europe? For knuspr.de, Germany’s top e-grocer and part of the Rohlik Group, the answer was clear: #automation 🤖 As they rapidly expand across the DACH region, Knuspr uses Brightpick robots to: ✅ Buffer and store picked orders ✅ Consolidate and sort large orders ✅ Prepare and dispatch delivery routes "Long-term we would not be able to operate just manually," said Ales Malucha, former Chief Automation Officer at Rohlik. "Automation helps us be more efficient and much more scalable." 💡 Curious how this works in practice? 👉 Check out the full case study in the comments below

It’s easy to focus on the upfront price tag when buying #automation. But what happens after the purchase can make or break your investment case: 👉 Software integration 👉 Ongoing maintenance 👉 Training costs 👉 Facility upgrades These are just some of the hidden costs that need to be closely evaluated when comparing different solutions. 📰 In our latest newsletter, we break down the Total Cost of Ownership of automation and share tips to help you avoid surprises and maximize ROI. #logistics #supplychain

💡 The upfront price tag of #automation is only one part of the story.
