Automation is transforming material handling operations across industries, with systems such as automated conveyor systems, robotic picking and packing systems, and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) being used to improve efficiency and productivity. Despite implementation challenges, automation can lead to long-term cost savings and professional development opportunities for employees.

AMRs are flexible, scalable, and customizable solutions for material handling, offering benefits such as increased efficiency, improved safety, flexibility, cost savings, real-time tracking, improved accuracy, increased throughput, and 24/7 operation. Peppermint Robotics’ Tug AMR is a powerful and versatile material-handling robot that can handle up to 2 tonnes of materials and goods safely and effectively in dynamic environments.
