Implementing Robotics Technology in Operations
With a well-calculated entrepreneurial appetite for risk, A&M Industrial introduced robots into their 80,000-square-foot distribution center in Cranbury, New Jersey. The goal was not only to improve their own warehouse operations but also to master the technology and showcase its potential to others. Before the implementation of robots, A&M Industrial employees would often walk up to seven miles in a workday, pushing heavy carts loaded with hundreds of pounds of products. The use of robots would relieve physical strain for the employees and increase productivity. The company recognized that implementing robotics technology in their operations would not only benefit their own business but also open up new opportunities for expansion and market leadership.

The company also gained a competitive edge in the market by showcasing their innovative approach to customers and demonstrating their own successful implementation of this cutting edge technology. The successes of robotics adoption at A&M Industrial served as a testament to their strategic thinking and willingness to embrace new innovation.
