Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) Hosts Virtual AMR Event November 8-10
Autonomous mobile robot (AMR) first mover and market leader Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) will host the MiR World Americas Conference November 8-10. Long-time MiR partners and users such as Schneiders Electric will join MiR executives in a series of educational sessions, case studies and actionable insights to help attendees benefit from material transport with flexible, safe and easy-to-use mobile robots.
"AMR deployments continue to skyrocket, especially in the Americas as more companies struggling with labor shortages and supply chain issues recognize the tremendous benefits they offer over manually transporting materials," said Mark Joppru, VP of sales, Americas. "Whether new to the field or long-time experts looking to sharpen their knowledge, the MiR World Americas Conference will help all attendees take the next step in unlocking these benefits for their organizations with a quick return-on-investment. There is something for everyone at this event."
According to a recent report from the International Federation of Robots (IFR), more than 121,000 AMRs were sold in 2021, with nearly 50,000 going to companies planning to automate transportation and logistics applications in warehouses, manufacturing facilities and factories. These use of AMRs in transportation and logistics is expected to grow by an average of 40% each year from 2022 to 2025. Much of this additional demand is due to "the effort to increase resilience of production against pandemics and international political conflicts by re-shoring capacity," the IFR report says.
