Moscow region begins experimental production of warehouse robots
The Moscow region has begun experimental production of warehouse robots at several sites.
The robots are intended to automate work in warehouses and logistics centres.
The sites cover about 2,000 square metres each and are being used to test technology before mass production.
The region says it holds a quarter of Russia’s warehouse capacity, including distribution centres and major online-marketplace hubs.
Automation can help move goods and process orders faster, while reducing picking errors, but it must fit existing business operations.
The next planned step is a full-scale factory in Dmitrov Industrial Park.
Regional support for manufacturers and companies adopting the robots includes subsidies, tax measures and reduced land costs.
