RaaS from Rebl

In Sweden, Gothenburg-headquartered Rebl Industries has signed framework agreements with global fashion and design companies H&M and IKEA for its next-generation robots-as-a-service (RaaS) solutions. Unlike traditional automation models that require substantial upfront investment, Rebl’s approach is performance-based, with customers paying for the work completed rather than the machines themselves. Since the summer of ****, H&M has been using Rebl’s AI-powered robots at its Nordics online sales warehouse where they have been deployed to automate repetitive tasks such as sorting and palletising. The technology has already improved predictability and efficiency, with expansion to further sites now planned.
