Warehouses, order fulfillment and distribution centers are filled with robotics and automation. From AMRs to robot arms and automated lift trucks, various technologies work alongside personnel in an attempt to make life easier for humans and meet business goals.

In this podcast, we discuss the expanding role of robotics and automation in the warehouse, and how ongoing labor challenges affect the organizational thought process on what type(s) of automation to consider for various processes. Join an industry expert from Yale Lift Truck Technologies to discuss these topics and other talking points in this Robotics Applications Podcast episode, “Making the Case for Automaton:”
