Industrial cleaning and construction robotics: +40% growth in the use of robots in logistics, transportation and construction

Robotic technologies are becoming increasingly familiar in very different sectors. We see robots in automotive, logistics, transportation, personal and health services. More generally, automation is accelerating in our lives with artificial intelligence, assisted driving systems, and voice commands.

The article by our U.S. distributor, FS Solutions explains in detail what the prospects are for robots in both industrial cleaning and construction.

Some highlights:

• More than 60% of contractors will use robotic technologies to improve safety and processes.
• There will be 40% growth in the use of robots in logistics, transportation and construction.
• Walmart Canada estimates that 90% of warehouse products will be unloaded from trucks using robots.

These are some figures from the United States, which is historically a country that anticipates market and product trends.

What about in Europe and Italy?

Robotic technologies have always been at the forefront (the first projects and patents in Gerotto date back to 2002) and often ahead of standards and regulations.

The introduction of the points license for construction sites, in Italy, is an important innovation: because it rewards companies that invest in training and machinery that decrease exposure to risks. 

People’s safety is a matter of work culture, first and foremost, and also of technology. To sum up, “Innovation First, Safety Always.”
