Amazon Shifts From Buying Robots to Building Its Own
Original: Industry Insights: Amazon Used to Buy Robots. Now It Builds Them.
Amazon, once the robotics industry's biggest customer, is increasingly designing and manufacturing its own warehouse robots in-house rather than purchasing them from outside vendors. The shift, highlighted in industry commentary from the Association for Advancing Automation, marks a turning point for the robotics sector, which has long relied on the retailer's enormous purchasing power. Observers are weighing what the move means for traditional robot suppliers competing with their former top client.
Why now: Amazon's move into building its own robots signals a major change in the robotics market that affects suppliers and the wider automation industry.
