Robotics and automation services that help warehouses and distributors cut labor and freight costs.
Automation & robotics for logistics and physical work
Robots can now handle about a third of physical jobs, though Anthropic says they’re not yet cost-effective. With LTL rates at a new high in Q3 and climbing into Q4, and a leadership change at DP World Americas, warehouses and distributors under heavy labor and freight pressure should consider automation to cut exposure.
