Abstract

This IDC study uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment of a number of providers participating in the worldwide autonomous mobile robot for order fulfillment market. The IDC MarketScape is an evaluation based on a comprehensive framework and a set of parameters that assesses providers relative to one another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to success in a given market during both the short term and the long term.

"Autonomous mobile robots are delivering significant benefits to those organizations that have embraced this technology," says John Santagate, research director, Service Robots, IDC. "Vendors in this space have developed technology that is easy to use and cost effective and has proven to deliver rapid results. In addition, organizations that are more advanced in terms of their use of robots, are able to create alignment between the physical execution of the fulfillment process and the digital elements of the business."
