By leveraging software as a unique differentiator, System Integrators are fueling the rapid rise in automation of material handling operations.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Warehouses are rapidly automating material handling operations, and system integrators (SIs) are leading the charge. Despite market uncertainty caused by tariffs and global conflict, the fundamental need for automation continues to push the market forward. SIs have experienced strong growth in recent years, and global revenues are expected to surpass US$100 billion by 2030, according to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research.
"SIs are playing an increasingly important role in the industry as full-package providers," said Ryan Wiggin, Senior Analyst at ABI Research. "In previous years, when automation deployments were limited to the largest companies, many had the capital and capacity to partner directly with individual system providers to deliver Proof of Concept (POC) projects and scale up accordingly. As automation expands into the middle market, companies now need to work with SIs to develop custom, holistic packages and leverage their implementation expertise and support."
Market-leading SIs such as KNAPP, Dematic, and SSI Schaefer are combining OEM systems with partner solutions to deliver end-to-end automation. More pure-play SIs, including Fortna and Bastian Solutions, offer greater system flexibility by integrating best-in-breed technologies from companies such as Geek+, AutoStore, and Hai Robotics.
E-commerce, pharmaceutical, and post and parcel organizations were among the earliest adopters of material handling automation. Retail has seen more recent growth, with food and beverage companies following closely behind. While third-party logistics (3PL) providers have faced challenges scaling automation, significant investment is expected in the short to medium term. Global SI revenues are projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23% in retail, 25% in food and beverage, and 22% in 3PL through 2032.
"Software is becoming an increasingly crucial differentiator among leading Sis," Wiggin said. "With integration and Return on Investment (ROI) concerns, seamless orchestration between autonomous systems and the ability to continuously optimize workflows is becoming the primary Unique Selling Proposition (USP)."

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From January 6–8, 2026, Arspura, a premium smart home appliance brand focused on healthier kitchen air, presented its latest IQV™ innovations at CES 2026 and hosted a three-day brand program in Las Vegas. Centered on exclusive technology, respiratory wellness, and user experience, the program brought together experts, product leaders, and real customers to spotlight how better cooking environments can start with better indoor air management.
At the heart of Arspura's CES showcase was its proprietary IQV™ Dynamic Particulate Capture Technology, designed to capture cooking smoke, grease particles, and odor at the source—helping reduce the common "smoke escape" problem many households experience with traditional ventilation. Through live demonstrations and deep-dive sessions, Arspura emphasized a clear brand promise for modern kitchens: Cook freely, breathe freely.
To watch highlights from Arspura's CES 2026 showcase, visit:
Day 1: Uncovering the Kitchen's Invisible Health Threats
On the first day of CES 2026, Arspura kicked off its brand program with a keynote by Professor Francesca Dominici of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Professor of Biostatistics & Data Science; Professor of Environmental Health).
Drawing on her research on air pollution and health, she highlighted the risks of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and emphasized that even low-level exposure can make people sick. She noted that PM2.5 can be particularly hazardous for older adults, people with existing health conditions, and individuals with asthma, and stressed that preventing cooking-related PM2.5 from dispersing indoors and reducing exposure at the source is crucial for family health.
Reflecting on this message, Arspura underscored its commitment to helping more households—especially those with asthma or nasal sensitivities—cook with greater comfort by reducing smoke and odor irritation, so more people can truly cook freely and breathe freely.
Day 2: Redefining a New Standard for Smoke-Free Cooking
On the second day, Arspura's product manager led a technical session explaining how IQV™ airflow design works together with high-airspeed capture (up to 13 m/s) to deliver high capture performance with minimal smoke escape. The presentation framed Arspura's approach as more than a product: a combination of technology and daily usability designed to make healthy cooking feel effortless.
Arspura also welcomed a special on-site visit and interview from media figure Yang Lan, who explored the booth experience and shared positive feedback on IQV™ technology and the IQV Hood concept—particularly its relevance for people sensitive to cooking fumes who want a more comfortable kitchen environment.
Day 3: Bringing Healthy Kitchen Living Into Everyday Ease
Arspura closed out CES 2026 with strong momentum, earning five awards during the show. To cap the three-day program, the brand invited its first group of IQV Hood users for a face-to-face sharing session, paired with immersive, hands-on demonstrations. Through interactive experiences and practical use scenarios, attendees felt firsthand how the product can deliver "health protection" and "easy cleaning" simultaneously, translating the idea of a healthier kitchen into tangible everyday value.
Passionate home cooks also shared how they had previously tried multiple traditional range hoods yet still struggled with smoke escape and lingering odors, while Arspura's IQV™ performance provided noticeably improved smoke capture and deodorization—making cooking more enjoyable and inspiring friends and family to upgrade after seeing the results.
What's Next for Arspura
Backed by strong recognition at CES 2026 and reinforced by firsthand user stories, Arspura's IQV™ showcase signaled a growing shift toward kitchen ventilation solutions that prioritize both health and everyday usability. Building on this momentum, Arspura will continue to develop smarter, cleaner-air technologies for modern homes.
