IAM Robotics, the pioneering mobile robotics and software company, today announced that it has changed its corporate name to Onward Robotics™️ and unveiled a new logo, visual identity, and website. The rebrand marks an exciting next chapter in the company’s evolution, supports its recent growth, and reflects its renewed mission to revolutionize order fulfillment processes, increase operational productivity, and move the global supply chain forward.

Onward Robotics has experienced high market demand since emerging from stealth mode with the launch of its new Pyxis technology platform and Lumabot person-to-goods autonomous mobile robots. The company’s Meet Me solution coordinates humans and robots as a cohesive system, enabling warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing operations to increase productivity, mitigate operational risk, and scale without adding headcount. The rebrand builds on strong momentum and demand for the company’s innovative automation technology, which is being piloted in live production environments this year.

“This transition has been an exciting and transformational process for us,” said CEO Lance VandenBrook. “Onward Robotics better reflects the organization’s strong forward trajectory, our bold and purposeful team, and most importantly, our commitment to moving our clients and the global supply chain forward.”

The launch follows a year-long initiative to create a new brand identity that embodies the company’s renewed sense of purpose, energy, and enthusiasm, while capturing its unique culture and acknowledging its decades of experience in mobile robotics.

“I’m inspired every day by the bold and gritty Onward Robotics team,” VandenBrook said. “I’m incredibly proud of the momentum we’ve built, the way we’re solving hard problems with innovative technology, and how we’re moving onward and upward–together.”

The company’s new brand and innovative robotic technology will be debuted and demonstrated live at MODEX 2024 in booth #C6685 from March 11, 2024 to March 14, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Logistics industry growth slowed in December

Logistics industry growth slowed in December due to a seasonal wind-down of inventory and following one of the busiest holiday shopping seasons on record, according to the latest Logistics Managers’ Index (LMI) report, released this week.

The monthly LMI was 57.3 in December, down more than a percentage point from November’s reading of 58.4. Despite the slowdown, economic activity across the industry continued to expand, as an LMI reading above 50 indicates growth and a reading below 50 indicates contraction.

DHL: small businesses wary of uncertain times in 2025

As U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face an uncertain business landscape in 2025, a substantial majority (67%) expect positive growth in the new year compared to 2024, according to a survey from DHL.

Both those issues were cited as top challenges by 36% of respondents, followed by staffing/talent retention (11%) and digital threats and cyber attacks (2%).

Strike threat lingers at ports as January 15 deadline nears

Retailers and manufacturers across the country are keeping a watchful eye on negotiations starting tomorrow to draft a new contract for dockworkers at East coast and Gulf coast ports, as the clock ticks down to a potential strike beginning at midnight on January 15.

Representatives from the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) last spoke in October, when they agreed to end a three-day strike by striking a tentative deal on a wage hike for workers, and delayed debate over the thornier issue of port operators’ desire to add increased automation to port operations.
