AM Logistic Solutions annual outlook
"Many reasons to be optimistic about 2022"
"We launched two new products this year that we are very proud of: the Rent-a-Robot program for AutoStore as the world's first distributor for the rental of AutoStore robots and the RiCO-bot picking robot, which was developed by our robotics department. We launched the rent-a-robot program in the spring and have already implemented it in more than five projects shortly after its market launch. We are currently motivated by the fact that the RiCO-bot has also successfully completed its pilot deployment as a picking robot and two further projects using it were launched at the end of the year. Our products have been well received on the market - so we have many reasons to be optimistic about 2022.
We expect catch-up effects when the availability of goods that are currently in short supply is restored. Then, especially in e-commerce, fast logistics will be important, for which the need for automation in the warehouse will grow noticeably."
