GOTHENBURG. 7th November, 2022: GreyOrange, a global leader in automated robotic fulfillment technologies and inventory optimization software, and Idnet, Sweden’s leading supply chain technology company, today announce a strategic partnership that will enable Idnet to offer GreyOrange’s leading autonomous robots and GreyMatter operating system to retailers in the Nordics.

“At Idnet, we have spent the last 30 years helping our customers to optimize their warehouses and drive efficiency through quality technology. We are constantly analysing technology trends to ensure that we are always able to offer our customers the best-in-class technologies for their warehouse operations,” said Per Redenius, Project Owner Supply Chain Solutions, Idnet.

A recent survey conducted by GreyOrange found that 70% of retail supply chain leaders are making automation a strategic priority during the next year, with 98% agreeing that automation is the best technology available on the market to help them overcome continuing labour issues. This partnership between GreyOrange and Idnet will make it easier for retailers in the Nordics to access automation solutions.

“In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about the use of autonomous robots (AMR) and now it is here! In order for brands to continue to improve their warehouses, they need to consider investing in automation, or they risk giving their competitors a significant advantage. Our partnership with GreyOrange will not only give our customers access to its full range of autonomous robots, and its leading multi-agent GreyMatter operating system” Redenius continued.

Idnet will be exhibiting at this year's Logistik & Transport, the Nordic region’s leading conference and trade fair dedicated to the future of logistics. You can find Idnet in stand C02:20. For more information about the event, visit https://en.logistik.to.

IFR: five trends will drive robot growth through 2025

As the global market value of industrial robot installations passes its all-time high of $16.5 billion, five trends will continue to drive its growth through 2025, according to a forecast from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

That is important because the increased use of robots has the potential to significantly reduce the impact of labor shortages in manufacturing, IFR said. That will happen when robots automate dirty, dull, dangerous or delicate tasks – such as visual quality inspection, hazardous painting, or heavy lifting—thus freeing up human workers to focus on more interesting and higher-value tasks.

Disruption events to global supply chains rose 38% over 2023

Overall disruptions to global supply chains in 2024 increased 38% from the previous year, thanks largely to the top five drivers of supply chain disruptions for the year: factory fires, labor disruption, business sale, leadership transition, and mergers & acquisitions, according to a study from Resilinc.

Factory fires maintained their position as the number one disruption for the sixth consecutive year, with 2,299 disruption alerts issued. Fortunately, this number is down 20% from the previous year and has declined 36% from the record high in 2022, according to California-based Resilinc, a provider of supply chain resiliency solutions.
