Gartner™ Research: Market Guide for Intralogistics Smart Robotic

Warehouse robotics adoption is accelerating, but so is complexity. Organizations face a growing range of robot types, use cases, and software platforms, making it increasingly difficult to determine the right path forward. According to Gartner, success depends on understanding how robotics, software, and operations work together, and selecting solutions based on real operational needs, not generic capabilities.

This research helps supply chain leaders navigate that complexity:

• It outlines how to evaluate intralogistics robotics solutions, align them to fulfillment processes and constraints, and build a scalable automation strategy.
• Gartner emphasizes that selecting the right software, or combination of solutions, to support both automated and hybrid environments is key to avoiding past mistakes and enabling long-term success.
