Gartner® Research Predicts the Rise of Multiagent Orchestration Platforms to Direct Warehouse Robot Fleets

Companies will need an orchestration capability that can assign work to the right robots based on near-real-time information and the characteristics of the activity

 

This report offers a detailed analysis of the future needs of end-users 

We believe GreyOrange’s recently announced open API to the GreyMatter fulfillment orchestration platform echoes research from this Gartner report

 

This Predicts 2023: Supply Chain Technology report includes:

• Expanded views of multiagent orchestration platforms and balanced work assignments between co-working intralogistics robots in the supply chain industry 
• Key Factors Motivating Supply Chain Investments in Emerging Technologies Over the Next 5 Years
• Three major areas of emerging technology investments
• Need for a platform that can help integrate with and orchestrate the work assigned to their heterogeneous fleet of robots.

 

“As a company’s fleet of robots grows, simple point-to-point API integration will not be enough. Companies will need an orchestration capability that can assign work to the right robots based on near-real-time information and the characteristics of the activity. This will reduce the time, effort and cost to onboard new robots and will reduce support cost, ultimately making organizations more efficient because work will be assigned to the robot best-suited for the task. Consequently, these companies will need a platform that can help integrate with and orchestrate the work assigned to their heterogeneous fleet of robots.”
