How Warehouse Robots Are Paying for Themselves in 2025

July 14, 2025

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Goods-to-Person (G2P) systems are transforming warehouse economics by reducing labor costs and improving pick rates. The best part is – they usually pay for themselves in under two years.

MHS Lift helps businesses choose and deploy the right automation to cut costs, reduce errors and boost output, so our customers can save time and money.

Why are robots a smart investment for warehouses in 2025?

Labor shortages and rising wages continue to pressure warehouse operators. Robots that assist with picking and transport are no longer futuristic – they’re essential. G2P systems, such as AMRs and automated vertical carousels, reduce walking time by up to 70%, accelerating fulfillment and minimizing errors.
