Cohesio Group, part of Körber Supply Chain has announced it has formed a partnership with autonomous mobile robot (AMR) provider, Fetch Robotics, to help retailers and logistics providers in APAC achieve productivity gains upwards of 200 per cent.
The two leading providers will collaborate to deliver advanced automation through flexible and scalable solutions for retailers and logistics providers in APAC.
Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Fetch Robotics provides the only autonomous mobile robot solution that deploys in hours as opposed to days or weeks.
Cohesio Group will add Fetch Robotics to its already extensive portfolio of enterprise-graded solutions spanning automation, voice enabled technologies, handheld devices and workflow optimisation.
The leading technology solutions provider has recently deployed solutions for CEVA Logistics, Wesfarmers and Bollore Logistics to name a few, providing efficiency and productivity gains upwards of 200 per cent.
In Asia Pacific, the industrial robotics market is expected to grow by more than 13 per cent and is set to reach AUD $151 billion by 2026, according to data released by market research provider Research and Markets.
Increasing customer demand is a major driving factor in this, and Cohesio Group has been at the centre of major automation deployments in the Asia Pacific region.
“Fetch Robotics is a market leader in automation. At Cohesio we always want to offer our clients the very best and latest technology in automation and have therefore made the decision to broaden our portfolio in partnering with Fetch Robotics. We know the demand for automation in this region is growing, and we want to ensure we can offer a full range of products and services to our customers to help them meet this challenging demand,” Nishan Wijemanne, CEO of Cohesio Group said.
Formed in 2014, the California-based intralogistics automation company pioneered the world’s first cloud robotics platform for delivering on-demand automation in any facility.
Melonee Wise, CEO of Fetch Robotics said the company has found a partner who is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in automation and technology and is committed to innovation across the entire supply chain.
“For this reason, we are very excited to see what we can achieve together in the fast-growing Asia Pacific e-commerce market,” Wise said.
Fetch Robotics is unique in that it provides a cloud robotics platform that autonomously moves and tracks virtually anything in any warehouse or manufacturing environment ranging from parts as small as a transistor to pallets weighing 1500 kilograms.
“The Fetch Robotics solutions offer immediate efficiency gains around travel and labour time. The robots can be fully operational in a matter of hours and do not require extensive changes to warehouse environments or existing processes. Providing significant efficiency and productivity gains, warehouse operators instead have the time to focus on higher-level and more productive tasks,” Ravi Nath, Head of Automated Solutions at Cohesio Group said.
