Hamburg, 15 March 2023. Ever-increasing consumer demand and labor challenges are top of mind for many supply chain executives amid double-digit growth rates in eCommerce.
Körber’s Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) program will provide simple access to a global network of robotics service partners for every business size and industry, emphasizing Körber’s value on collaboration and dedication to meeting its customer’s needs. This offering will provide unique opportunities to reduce operational costs and time to deployment, by allowing customers to purchase robots “as-a-service”, rather than as one large upfront expenditure.
“The autonomous mobile robots (AMR) sector in particular, has seen tremendous growth in recent years,” explained Joe Couto, Executive Vice President Robotics & 3PL at Körber Business Area Supply Chain. “Customers across the globe are looking for solutions in various operational areas to meet spikes in demand and address complexities around labor, safety and warehouse associates’ wellbeing. Körber has made it its mission to help companies worldwide respond to these challenges faster, while keeping fulfillment time and costs as low as possible. Körber’s flexible robotics and accompanying automation solutions have brought scalable fulfillment operations to numerous customers around the globe, and now we are bringing it to the next level.”
“The greatest benefit of working with Körber is seizing the opportunities of the digital era through a single source,” added John Santagate, Vice President Robotics & Voice at Körber Business Area Supply Chain. “A lot of organizations continue their investments into automated technologies in the supply chain, but few leverage the potential of integrated solutions. More than ever, businesses need a partner with broad capabilities to conquer supply chain complexity.”
The announcement was made at Körber’s annual user conference, Elevate, held March 12-15, 2023 in Orlando, Florida.
