MEA Warehouse Robotics Industry Overview
The Middle East and Africa warehouse robotics market is moderately fragmented. The major players with a significant share in the market are expanding their customer base across various regions and many companies are forming strategic and collaborative initiatives with various start-up companies to increase their market share and their profitability. Some of the recent developments in the market are:
- September 2020 - ABB extended its family of small six-axis industrial robots with launch of IRB 1300 to meet the demand for faster and more compact robot able to rapidly lift heavy objects or loads with complex and irregular shapes. The robot offers improvement in cycle times and is nearly 60 percent lighter and 83 percent smaller than the IRB 1600. With a footprint of just 220 mm by 220 mm, the IRB 1300 is designed for use in small spaces, enabling more robots to be deployed in a confined area.
- April 2020 - Yaskawa Launched a new multipurpose robot, Motoman-GP300R, a new lineup of shelf-type robots that strengthens to save space in facilities. It operates downwards with a wide area where the footprint is mounted, which makes it ideal for handling work from above.
