The concept of mixed fleet technology, where human-driven vehicles and robotic machines work in coordination, has emerged as a promising solution for utilizing the strengths of both humans and robots. How to make autonomous machines work in better cooperation with human workers?<\/b><\/p>\n

By combining the strengths of humans and robots, companies can achieve higher levels of productivity and efficiency. On the one hand, we have the adaptability, creativity, and problem-solving prowess of human workers \u2013 qualities that are very hard to replicate by machines. On the other hand, we witness the productivity of robots, who are efficient in their tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The business advantages of a mixed fleet<\/h2>\n

By combining human and robotic capabilities, businesses can take advantage of the constant capacity of automated robots, eliminating the waste of idle periods. The robot fleet can be sized according to the continuous capacity demand, rather than peak demand.\u00a0 During peak hours, humans can collaborate with robots to meet the increased demand, while the off-peak hours can be handled solely by the robots.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, mixed fleet technology enables efficient exception handling. While robots continue their regular tasks, humans can step in to handle irregular or complex situations, ensuring a seamless flow of operations. This optimal balance between human and robotic workforce not only enhances productivity but also helps in cost savings by reducing the need for a massive robotic fleet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The future of mixed fleet<\/h2>\n

Artificial intelligence will be an important factor in improving the decision-making capabilities of robots, making them adaptable to mixed fleet use. The future prospects of the mixed fleet technology are bright, promising a new kind of era of collaboration between human workers and robotic machines.<\/span><\/p>\n
