Be at the forefront of Autonomous Mobile Robots market

At Reply, we recognise immense opportunities arising from advances in robotics. We analyse the economic impact and explore new fields of applications while already delivering real use cases and turnkey solutions that add value for our clients.

A wider technological landscape

We’ve been establishing strong partnerships with leading robotic manufacturers, as well as with technology providers, to support the integration of cutting-edge robotics with leading enterprise solutions. Applying highly effective Design Thinking, methodology and agile delivery approaches, we combine creativity and technology to identify economically viable processes for automation with mobile robotics that quickly scale value.

Reply’s data-driven market insights division has recently published a report on the market of Autonomous Things, that sheds light on the current trends and can inspire companies in identifying viable business cases. For example, AGVs be used in healthcare scenarios (in the case of supplies and food being transported into hospitals) or in large warehouses as mobile robotic fulfilment systems.

With a strong background in engineering, dedicated Reply companies are able to tailor-make specialised sensors and devices that can be mounted on moving objects so they can fulfil exactly their purpose. Reply also provides a dedicated lab for test automation of IoT devices, where equipment can be submitted to stress and pen tests for quality assurance, and a Smart Test Automation innovative platform, which tests services already in use inside a company’s system.

Our strong footprint in IT Security further integrates the cybersecurity aspect early on in the solution development, besides expanding the protection of networks, data and connected robots from attacks.

Robots on the move

At the core of Reply’s strength matrix stands the integration of systems and the development and training of ML algorithms that can be deployed to the robots, to the Edge Cloud or to the central cloud and that give robots the autonomy needed to improve businesses.

Shaping the next level of Autonomous Mobile Robots

With a comprehensive technological skillset and industry know-how, Reply is ready to support enterprises in integrating mobile robotics into their operations as well in developing innovative business models based on intelligent autonomy.

For businesses, increasingly sophisticated autonomous mobile robots, drones and vehicles represent a way to compensate for labour shortages in certain business fields and to keep the human workforce safe from hazards and dangerous environments.

The COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, has exacerbated the situation in the healthcare sector on a global level and AGVs e.g. already help to transport equipment and to disinfect facilities in hospitals, without risking to spread the virus or to get infected.

Protecting the human life from harm, reducing costs, increasing productivity: these are the main drivers of robotics adoption in enterprises. AI-based real-time decision making and cutting-edge robotic not only help to optimise existing scenarios, they can as well transform entire business models.
