    📱🆚🤖 Let's talk about mobile vs fixed robotics!   Mobile Pros: high flexibility and scalability, short lead-times, limited blocking of floor space, smaller monetary investment (typically), with potential for leasing models. These factors make mobile robotics a great option for companies looking to quickly implement automation solutions without large upfront costs and minimal disruption to their current operations.   However, there are some drawbacks to mobile robotics. They require a high amount of space and may have limitations in application compared to fixed robots.   On the other hand, fixed robotics have their own set of pros and cons. Fixed Pros: high throughput performance, high productivity, good utilization of space vertically, and a wide range of applications. These features make fixed robots ideal for high-volume and specialized tasks that require precision and consistency.   However, the longer lead-times to go-live and higher monetary investment may be barriers for some companies. Additionally, fixed robots are not as flexible or easily scalable compared to mobile robotics.   Which type of robotics do you think is best suited for your business needs? 🤔
