79% of Robotics Projects Fail on Throughput Without Orchestration
79% of robotics projects underperform on throughput because companies optimize individual cells, like AMRs for picking, without orchestrating the entire workflow, which just shifts bottlenecks to packing. We integrate disparate robot fleets, WMS, and ERP systems, enabling new robot OEM connectivity in days, not months, to maximize end-to-end flow.
From the Source
"We've seen a number of examples of companies that installed some autonomous mobile robots in the Distribution Center, got big productivity gains from doing so, but just moved the lump in the snake to packing. So now they got these giant backups in packing."

Our Take
We see this repeatedly: solving one operational problem in isolation without a systems-level view just creates another. True P&L impact comes from orchestrating the entire process, not just optimizing a single node, which can otherwise leave significant throughput gains unrealized.
Key Takeaways
- 0179% of robotics projects experience delays, glitches, and integration issues, failing to hit expected throughput a year after deployment (Roboteon data).
- 02Optimizing individual robotic cells (e.g., AMRs for picking) without end-to-end orchestration simply moves bottlenecks, creating 'giant backups in packing'.
- 03Roboteon's platform enables rapid integration, connecting to new robot OEMs in 'a couple of days' versus months of struggle for others.
- 04Orchestration allows heterogeneous robot fleets (different vendors, types) to work as one, protecting investment and enabling seamless scaling.
- 05Early involvement of orchestration platforms with vendor-agnostic simulation tools during the design phase prevents future bottlenecks.
