Press Release: MiR Announces Global Commercial Partnership with Matthews International to Deliver Next-Generation Warehouse Automation Solutions.
Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) today announced a global commercial partnership with the Automation Solutions business segment of Matthews International.
The
new partnership combines Matthews’ proven warehouse automation
technologies with MiR’s advanced AMRs uniquely suited for internal
transportation and material handling tasks in a variety of settings.
This collaboration positions both companies to capitalize on the
projected 30% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) in the AGV/AMR market
by 2028, driven by rising demand in e-commerce and the flexibility of
AMRs to deploy without major infrastructure changes.
The
Matthews–MiR partnership promises to provide complete, integrated
warehouse automation solutions that streamline picking, packing, and
material movement. Matthews’ Warehouse Execution System (WES) software,
picking systems, and automation expertise will complement MiR’s
best-in-class AMRs, offering customers a new level of customization,
flexibility, and performance. The partnership will enable businesses to
seamlessly scale and optimize their operations, from production floors
to distribution centers, ensuring a competitive edge in an increasingly
complex marketplace.
“We are excited to partner with MiR to
broaden our automation capabilities,” said Lars Vöcking, Senior Vice
President and Managing Director, Matthews Industrial Automation EMEA.
“Our customers face rapidly changing demands in their supply chains and
distribution networks. By integrating MiR’s AMRs into our existing suite
of material handling solutions, we can help them unlock new
efficiencies and build a more resilient, future-ready operation.”
To
date, Matthews’ Warehouse Automation solutions have been deployed in
over 2,000 manufacturing and distribution centers globally, helping
customers boost productivity, improve quality, and reduce operational
costs.
“With its strong customer relations and significant
experience servicing global brands across multiple industries, Matthews
International is the perfect partner for MiR,” said Jean-Pierre Hathout,
President of MiR. “Modern automation is all about cross-technology
collaboration and integrability and this partnership will make it easier
for operations to integrate and utilize AMRs in their business.”
