- Founders anticipate significant impact and leadership in the future of logistics robotics.
Rainbow Dynamics, a newly established UK robotics and automation company, has ambitious plans to transform logistics through cutting-edge technologies. The company aims to lead the industry in sustainable robotic load handling and parcel sortation within logistics warehouses, manufacturing sites, and e-commerce fulfilment centres.
Based in Chorley, Lancashire, Rainbow Dynamics offers a portfolio of supply chain technologies. This includes an autonomous mobile robot designed to streamline the manufacturing process or to organise foodstuffs ready for dispatch from a grocery distribution centre. Furthermore, the company provides a robotic forklift with a capacity of 1,500 kg, removing the need for human labour in transporting roll cages and pallets. Their automated storage and retrieval shuttle is adept at managing palletised loads in dense racking, making it an asset for B2B supply chains.
Later this year, the firm plans to launch a goods-to-person order picking system. This system utilises Rainbow Dynamics’ proprietary RackBot technology to enhance tote handling. In addition to new products, the company is preparing to unveil a UK-based assembly facility, which is expected to be operational within the current year.
Founder and CEO Alfred Chens highlights the appeal of their low CapEx autonomous mobile robot technology. He states that these robots do not require expensive fixed infrastructure, allowing them to be scalable and adaptable to the user’s evolving needs. Chens emphasises the ease of implementing these technologies within existing storage facilities, making them an attractive proposition for various logistics operations.
Addressing the current challenges faced by the logistics industry, such as the shortage of lift truck operators, Chens is optimistic about the role of robotics in mitigating these issues. He asserts that there is widespread industry interest in robotic solutions to alleviate recruitment difficulties and enhance operational reliability.
Rainbow Dynamics aims to deliver robotics solutions that are accessible to a broad range of businesses. Chens mentions that even small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from their offerings, especially with the financial assistance of ‘Robots as a Service’ (RaaS) options that reduce the initial investment costs while covering maintenance and services.
The initial responses to Rainbow Dynamics’ technology have been overwhelmingly positive, and Chens is confident about the company’s potential to lead in logistics robotics. “I fully expect Rainbow Dynamics to be at the forefront of shaping the future of logistics robotics for many years to come,” he stated, projecting a promising trajectory for the company.
Rainbow Dynamics stands poised to influence the future landscape of logistics robotics profoundly.
