Robots as a service 

The GreyOrange robots-as-a-service (RaaS) subscription-based program lets you scale up your warehouse capabilities during peak fulfillment periods. RaaS allows you to add powerful autonomous mobile robots to your operations on-demand. The robots work with people to reduce their travel time and allow them to pick more items. The result is a flexible and cost-effective solution to scalability and labor challenges. When peak season is over, you simply return the extra robots to the supplier until they are needed again.
