• RightHand Robotics, a provider of autonomous robotic picking solutions, has announced the launch of its partner integrator program, to complement its robotic piece-picking solutions with warehouse technologies and solution providers to cater to the broad ecommerce order fulfillment market. 

• The program will integrate different parties including system integrators, OEM technology providers, robot integrators, and related sales alliance members to provide strategic, commercial, and technical engagement for companies to be able to develop and deploy comprehensive solutions utilizing RightHand Robotics’ technology. 

• Element Logic, a Norway-based provider of warehouse automation solutions, which also claims to be AutoStore’s (another warehouse automation company based in Norway) largest partner, has joined the program as the first member. The company has already incorporated and deployed RightHand’s RightPick piece-picking solution at an AutoStore installation, which claims to have considerably increased the system’s picking productivity.

<ul><li> Analyst QuickTake: Offering combined solutions for factory, warehouse, and fulfillment automation has been a major strategy among players in the Smart Factory space. RightHand’s peers XYZ Robotics, RIOS, and Vecna Robotics are a few examples of such companies. However, these companies mostly offer their own technology, while the new partnership program by RightHand would provide comprehensive solutions to customers by integrating technologies offered by other established players in the market, improving the credibility and breadth of solutions provided, helping the company to expand its market reach. Funds required for this program were raised by the company last month , which was aimed at improving the partner network to support growth plans.</ul>
