Automated robots to boost the supply chain industry in Canada

The Canadian government will be investing $34 million in a high-density automated storage company, Attabotics.

 

By supporting research, Canada is looking to grow its global leadership in AI and hopefully, bring to the market a one-of-a-kind robotic technology that will create jobs and boost the Canadian economy. This investment aims to drive Canada’s economy and strengthen it after the pandemic took over the country.

 

The company had already received funding from other government organizations. It will be focusing on developing vertically stacked warehouse storage solutions for the supply chain by condensing them into vertical 3D complexes. Robots on rails will be retrieving the items in place of humans and using AI, it will predict where to store what items to have a faster retrieval time.

 

This solution could then reduce a warehouse’s footprint to 15% all the while increasing the productivity of the organizations.

 

Moreover, a report from Research and Markets showed that the warehouse automation market will increase to $27 billion by 2025. In the near future, the supply chain industry will have to rely on technology, such as Amazon that uses over 200,00 automated robots in its warehouse.
