How Ambi Robotics Is Preparing Its Customers for the Busy Peak Season

At a glance

Ambi Robotics is getting ready for the peak season that starts with Black Friday, when customers' logistics work surges. The company expects its customers' throughput to rise by 9% to 10% compared with the same period last year, and it is installing new systems at eight sites.

Key points

1. 1

   Most of the new installations this year use a new version of AmbiSort, a modified version of the existing product.

2. 2

   Half of the company's staff travel to sites to check conditions, and the other half stand ready to rush over if problems occur.

3. 3

   Customers can raise throughput by adding shifts or more workers, without adding new equipment.

4. 4

   To reduce downtime, the company stores spare parts in advance at key regional sites.

Why it matters

As online shopping keeps growing and warehouses get busier, this preparation matters because if robots stop, the whole parcel delivery process can be delayed.
