Aicox facilitates development of robotics and optical inspection

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are becoming a new normal by helping automate and drive efficiencies in the simple yet technologically complex process of moving assets and resources in warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing environments.

The market for autonomous robots is expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate of 43 percent starting in 2022, reaching a valuation of USD 18B by 2027 with an install base of 2.4M units worldwide. This growth is driven by a surge in e-commerce over the past several years, with a global consumer base that expects fast delivery amid disruptive labor shortages.

With the robotics market growing exponentially, Advantech’s ARK-2251 and MIO-5377 modules powered by Intel offer solution providers powerful new ways to take advantage of this opportunity.
