Körber and Fetch Robotics to collaborate on AMRs
Global logistics technology conglomerate Körber Supply Chain has set up a partnership with Fetch Robotics.
Under the strategic partnership, Körber will act as a global reseller, advisor and integrator of Fetch’s autonomous mobile robot (AMR) solutions and cloud robotics software. Fetch will benefit from Körber’s depth of expertise, including 1,300 in-house professionals and nearly 100 strategic partners across the globe.
Many businesses struggle with robotic implementation, integration, maintenance, training and costs. Together, Körber and Fetch aim to overcome these challenges.
John Santagate, vice president of robotics at Körber Supply Chain – software says: “Fetch has a strong portfolio of mobile robots that, when combined with the extensive supply chain knowledge and commitment to innovation at Körber, creates an optimised approach to flexible automation.”
Additionally, there is opportunity for integration with Körber’s breadth of supply chain solutions, such as voice and warehouse management systems, to enhance fulfillment, picking, replenishment and more.
The Fetch Cloud Robotics Platform provides a cloud-driven AMR solution. Cloud robotics is said to be revolutionising automation by bringing the kind of speed, agility and cost advantages that cloud computing brought to IT. Fetch combines a cloud-based software platform, Workflow Builder automation development toolkit, Robot as a Service (RaaS) business model, and AMRs – ranging from payload capacities of 100 kilograms to 1500 kilograms.
