Cloud, On-Premises, or Hybrid: How to Weigh Security Architectures for Robot Infrastructure
Robot arms do not care where the server is, and there is no single safest option. Cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments can all protect robot systems; they differ only in how responsibility is divided, and most factories will ultimately use a mix.

Steel Structure Design for Robotic Warehouses: Automation Parameters Must Be Determined Upfront
The building shell of a robotic warehouse needs to be designed around automation from the very beginning. Parameters such as column grid, clear height, floor conditions, roof loads and expansion paths should all be determined by the automation system that will operate inside the warehouse in the future, rather than building first and retrofitting later. Yet most automation planning often starts only from within the four walls.

Warehouse Automation Should Start with Storage Layout Planning
Warehouse automation projects often face constraints before robots, conveyors, or storage equipment are selected. Inventory locations, available paths for handling equipment, and the space required by personnel all depend on how the building is organized. If storage is treated as an independent facility decision, automation planning may only be able to proceed on a suboptimal layout.
