As e-commerce continues to reshape the landscape of logistics and fulfillment, businesses are turning to Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) to streamline operations and bolster efficiency. With industry experts like Hunter Senn of Hai Robotics leading the conversation, businesses are seeking clarity on the benefits and implementation of these sophisticated systems.

ASRS are not a monolith; they differ significantly from Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) with their fixed infrastructure designed for optimal high-density storage and specific retrieval applications. From unit-load systems handling pallet-sized loads to mini-load systems for smaller goods, understanding the variety, including shuttle and grid systems, is crucial for selection.

The surge in ASRS adoption is a direct response to the booming e-commerce sector’s demands for speed and accuracy. For businesses ready to integrate ASRS, the steps involve a meticulous assessment of needs, infrastructure evaluation for floor quality and space, and a scalable strategy to accommodate future growth.

Avoiding common pitfalls in automation is vital. Businesses must prioritize integration capabilities with existing software, infrastructure readiness, and scalability. Investing in training and post-installation support can safeguard against these oversights.

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

US industrial production rose 0.7% in September, led by a 3.5% jump in utilities output while factories added only 0.3%. Factory output remains below its 2017 level. Total capacity use hit 76.9%, but manufacturing's 75.9% rate shows slack persists on production lines even as mines run above their long-run norm.

  • 01Manufacturing utilization has held between 75.8% and 76.0% since April, 2.3 points under its long-run norm.
  • 02The November 17 release is the test: a factory operating rate breaking out of its six-month band, or utilities giving back September's 3.5%, would change the read on where capacity is tight.

Rugged computers grow 5.8% a year, slower than the industrial IoT around them

Rugged computers grow 5.8% a year, slower than the industrial IoT around them

IndexBox's new forecast puts rugged computers at $6.8 billion in 2026, growing 5.8% a year to $11.3 billion by 2035. Industrial IoT forecasts run faster. Their growth estimates range from 8.16% to 16.8% a year, which points field-device buyers toward connectivity, software and services as the faster-growing part of the spend.

  • 01Rugged computer forecasts of 5.4% and 5.8% trail the 8.16% to 16.8% projected for industrial IoT, pointing to faster growth in solutions and services than in devices.
  • 02Market-size estimates disagree far more than growth rates do: one firm's 2032 rugged forecast of $5.57 billion is below another's 2026 figure of $6.8 billion, so device budgets can benchmark growth rates and treat total size as background.
  • 03Connectivity, including 5G and satellite links, is moving onto the rugged spec sheet next to durability as demand shifts toward connected, real-time data capture in the field.

Case picking automation fails when nobody schedules the human

Case picking automation fails when nobody schedules the human

Vecna Robotics' CaseFlow system orchestrates both robots and human workers, emphasizing synchronized scheduling to address case picking inefficiencies. Zone-based dispatch prevents robot congestion, and Robotics 24/7 reported in October 2026 a two times throughput gain and up to 90% less worker travel at a GEODIS site.

  • 01Vecna reported a two times throughput gain and up to 90% less worker travel at a GEODIS deployment, Robotics 24/7 wrote in October 2026.
  • 02Vecna says on its site that CaseFlow reads demand from the WMS in real time, which is what turns a robot platform into a case picking workflow.
  • 03Prime Robotics says on its own site that goods-to-person lifts productivity up to six times; Vecna says on its site it delivers two times or more with no fixed infrastructure and deployment in four weeks or less.
