Next Generation Robotics optimizes robot, inventory movement

Also on this episode, we sit down with David Pepper, co-founder and CEO of Next Generation Robotics, to find out about its “optimization as a service” offering. The New York-based company said it provides expanded capabilities for mobile robot fleet management and inventory movement within warehouses.

Next Generation Robotics has been developing its algorithms. It has also set up a cloud-based service for robotics vendors and warehouse management software (WMS) providers to tap into optimization algorithms for their specific workflows. The service is now available for use.
