Where autonomous robots earn their keep

Every industry moves things on a schedule: trays, linen, luggage, pallets. Here's how RoboServe and RoboLift automate those flows sector by sector, with precision, around the clock and with less risk.

01 / HOSPITALITY

Hotels & resorts

Guests expect fast room service at 2 a.m. and spotless linen every morning. An autonomous fleet delivers on demand, rides the lifts on its own and gives guests a tech-forward experience they remember.

The challenge

  • Delivery times swing with how busy the shift is
  • Late-night deliveries stretch a thin night shift
  • Linen and amenity restocking ties up housekeeping for hours
  • Luggage handling peaks at check-in and check-out

How Yantra helps

  • RoboServe 80 rides the lift and delivers orders, towels and amenities to the room door
  • Guests get a call or screen alert and collect directly from the robot
  • RoboServe 300 moves clean and soiled linen in separate runs
  • RoboServe 300E carries luggage from the bell desk to any floor
  • Adds a memorable, tech-forward touch guests talk about
  • RoboServe Suite delivers privately from lockable cabins and phones the room on arrival

02 / HEALTHCARE

Hospitals & healthcare

Meals, linen and supplies move between kitchens, stores and wards all day, on tight schedules and under strict hygiene rules. Autonomous delivery makes those flows punctual, traceable and contactless.

The challenge

  • Clinical staff pulled into non-clinical logistics
  • Meal trays need to reach wards on time and still warm
  • Clean and soiled linen must never share a route or trolley
  • Central stores move heavy pallets of consumables daily

How Yantra helps

  • RoboServe 150 runs meal trays from kitchen to ward on schedule
  • RoboServe 300 with custom closed cabinets for linen and consumables
  • Contactless hand-offs mean fewer people moving between departments
  • Lift and auto-door integration for multi-floor buildings
  • RoboLift moves pallets in central stores and receiving docks
  • RoboShield disinfects wards and corridors on a schedule, with logged runs
  • RoboTow pulls linen and meal carts on fixed routes

03 / AVIATION

Airports

Airports run around the clock across huge footprints. Autonomous robots move bags, lounge F&B and stock 24/7, and they look the part in a world-class terminal.

The challenge

  • Long distances between stores, lounges and gates
  • Round-the-clock operations with rotating crews
  • Heavy luggage and bulk items in staff-only areas
  • Catering and retail warehouses handle constant pallet flow

How Yantra helps

  • RoboServe 300E's 770 × 600 mm deck carries luggage and bulk items
  • RoboServe 80 / 150 serve food and drinks in premium lounges
  • RoboLift moves pallets in catering units, duty-free stores and cargo warehouses
  • Fleet scheduling keeps robots working across shifts
  • A visible innovation story for passengers
  • RoboShield disinfects terminals and lounges overnight

04 / F&B

Restaurants & banquets

During a 500-cover wedding or a Sunday brunch rush, hundreds of plates leave the kitchen. RoboServe runs kitchen-to-table service on autopilot, and guests love watching it work.

The challenge

  • Peak-hour bottlenecks between pass and floor
  • High server turnover and training costs
  • Bussing dirty plates takes staff off the floor
  • Narrow aisles between tables

How Yantra helps

  • RoboServe 150: four trays serve several tables in one run
  • RoboServe 80 passes through gaps as narrow as 60 cm
  • Return trips double as bussing runs
  • Table numbers are mapped as stations, so service is one tap away
  • Lights and sounds announce arrival at the table
  • RoboServe Dine adds sensing trays and a 15.6" screen for promotions

05 / LOGISTICS

Warehousing & 3PL

Dock-to-rack, rack-to-staging, staging-to-dock: the same pallet moves happen thousands of times a month. Automating them with RoboLift makes them faster to schedule, perfectly repeatable and far less hazardous.

The challenge

  • Shortage and turnover of trained forklift operators
  • Repetitive horizontal moves eat up labour hours
  • Forklift collisions, crushed-foot injuries and falling loads
  • Strain injuries from manually moving heavy pallets
  • Hard to run a full third shift

How Yantra helps

  • RoboLift moves 2,000 kg pallets without a driver
  • Takes tasks straight from your WMS, with no manual dispatch
  • Plans routes and steers around people and other equipment
  • Auto-charges between jobs to keep shifts running
  • Central scheduling for multi-unit fleets
  • Reduces hazard risk: no driver on board, multi-layer obstacle detection, e-stop and electromagnetic brakes
  • RoboBase brings racks to pickers for goods-to-person fulfilment
  • Stackers, counterbalance and narrow-aisle models in the RoboLift family

06 / INDUSTRY

Manufacturing

A production line is only as fast as its material flow. RoboLift brings raw material to the line and takes finished goods away on time, every time, while keeping people out of harm's way.

The challenge

  • Line stoppages when material arrives late
  • WIP piling up between workstations
  • Skilled operators spending time on logistics
  • Mixed traffic of people, carts and forklifts, a constant safety hazard

How Yantra helps

  • MES integration triggers moves from production events
  • Line-side replenishment on a predictable cycle
  • Precise pick-and-drop at defined stations
  • Lower hazard risk: multi-layer obstacle detection, speed zones, e-stop and electromagnetic brakes
  • Can use lifts to reach mezzanines and other floors
  • RoboCarry and RoboTow run line-side racks and cart trains

07 / RETAIL

Retail distribution

Distribution centres and dark stores live by dispatch cut-offs. Automating pallet and tote movement keeps outbound on time, even during festive-season peaks.

The challenge

  • Seasonal peaks that need temporary labour
  • Tight dispatch windows
  • Back-of-store replenishment in large-format stores

How Yantra helps

  • RoboLift for inbound unloading and outbound staging
  • RoboServe 300 for back-of-store stock runs to the shop floor
  • Scale the fleet up for peak season without retraining staff
  • RoboBase for goods-to-person picking in dark stores

08 / FACILITIES

Offices, campuses & malls

Large facilities move mail, pantry supplies, documents and housekeeping material all day. A robot fleet turns facility logistics into a background service.

The challenge

  • Multi-tower campuses with long internal routes
  • Facility teams stretched across many buildings
  • Visitors and staff in shared corridors

How Yantra helps

  • RoboServe 80 for mailroom and pantry deliveries
  • RoboServe 300 for housekeeping and facility supplies
  • Follow mode lets staff lead the robot for ad-hoc jobs
  • RoboShield for scheduled disinfection of lobbies and food courts
