ANN ARBOR, Mich.\u2014(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)\u2014For the third-straight quarter, <\/b>robot sales in <\/b>North America hit a record high, driven by a resurgence in sales to automotive companies and an ongoing need to manage increasing demand to automate logistics for e-commerce. According to the Association for Advancing Automation<\/a>, of the 12,305 robots sold in Q2 2022, 59% of the orders came from the automotive industry with the remaining orders from non-automotive companies largely in the food & consumer goods industry, which saw a 13% increase in unit orders over the same period, April through June, in 2021.<\/p>\n
