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:”

• Should organizations focus first on technology or processes regarding potential automation offerings?
• What warehouse segments are ripe for new or further automation?
• What are some potential pain points or bottlenecks organizations should be mindful of when considering robotics?

Speakers:

• Kyle Smart, Sales Manager, Emerging Technology at Yale Lift Truck Technologies
• Tim Culverhouse, Editorial Director of Robotics 24/7, Peerless Media

A conversation with Nick Longworth, senior systems application engineer, and Bruce Muir, director of distribution automation at SICK, about how systems beyond mobile robots are finding uses in warehouses.

In this Robotics 24/7 podcast, Mark Messina, CEO for the Americas at Addverb Technologies, chats with Editorial Director Eugene Demaitre about the state of supply chain automation, current market and robotics trends, and the importance of software and data.

This Robotics 24/7 Roundtable will examine how software and AI are making it easier to deploy and supervise supply chain automation. E-commerce retailers and logistics providers are aware of the potential benefits from automation, but most warehouses are just beginning to add robots.

AGVs and AMRs can relieve human workers from having to walk or push carts miles every day. They can also provide traceability and allow for the optimization of materials handling.
