Two North East firms are helping Siemens to develop a mobile robot that it hopes will tap into a multibillion-dollar market.
Gateshead based Parmley Graham and Sunderland's AR Controls have partnered with the software arm of the engineering giant, Siemens Digital Industries, to make 'automated guided vehicles' (AGVs).
The robots are capable of carrying components, products and equipment across factories and distribution facilities and are particularly in demand given the trend towards online retail and supply chain pressures posed by the pandemic.
