Enabling Warehouse Robotics with RF Interconnects
Enabling Warehouse Robotics with RF Interconnects
Autonomy within the warehouse logistics ecosystem facilitates efficiency, reduces cost and helps to ensure safety. Using autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) further boosts productivity and decreases damage during cargo handling. Amphenol RF interconnects deliver optimal warehouse robotic solutions and are central to industrial IoT.
A small warehouse with one robot in 2022 grows into a larger warehouse with multiple robots by 2030
Global warehouse automation market accounted for $19B in 2021 and is estimated to reach $64B by 2030 with a CAGR of 14.8% from 2022 to 2030
