Ambi Robotics is installing systems at eight new customer facilities before the holiday peak season, co-founder and chief operating officer Stephen McKinley told The Robot Report. Most of the new sites use the latest version of its AmbiSort parcel sorting system.
McKinley said logistics providers can see throughput rise by 25% to 40% each peak season, and that Ambi expects its customers to see about 9% to 10% more than last year's peak. During the season, about half of the Berkeley, California-based company's team will travel to customer sites while the rest stands by to fix problems.
“Despite anything that might be going on in the economy, volume continues to ramp and e-commerce spending remains high,” McKinley said.
