Robotic Automation and the Future of Professional and Commercial Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers
Overview
As technology becomes more advanced, robotic automation continues to make notable influence on the professional and commercial equipment and supplies wholesale industry. Adopting automation systems can lead to reduction in operating costs and increase in productivity. This guide focuses on how this merger is redefining the future of the industry and challenges it brings, including certification issues.
Robotic Automation and the Professional Wholesaler
Robotic automation is taking over several sectors and the professional wholesaler industry is no exception. It is projected that the global market for professional service robots will reach $37.49 billion by 2022, an enormous jump from a relatively modest $6.6 billion in 2016. Robotic automation can carry out tasks faster and more accurately than human workers, reducing labor costs by more than 50%. If utilized correctly, these emerging technologies can significantly reduce expenses and increase the efficiency of the industry.
Professional Wholesaler Growth and Industry Challenges
While robotic automation promises plenty of benefits, there are hurdles to overcome. Certification is one of the biggest challenges faced by robotics companies, with many struggling to present robust safety features and concrete system reliability. As robots become more common, the need for safe human-robot interactions also rises. One area where this is particularly crucial is warehouse automation. Moreover, the robots need to be adaptable to dynamic environments and require systems capable of reactive collision avoidance.
The Impact of Automation on Commercial Equipment and Supplies Wholesalers
Like the professional wholesaler sector, the commercial equipment and supplies sector is also anticipated to see significant growth, with the global commercial robotics market expected to reach $44.6 billion by 2025. This growth will likely be driven by the need to increase productivity while reducing operating costs, with robotic automation seen as the solution. However, these gains in productivity and revenue need to be balanced against the need for safety. The challenge for this sector will be finding solutions that can deliver on the promise of robotic automation while also providing safety guarantees.
