Materials Handling Virtual Summit
In this keynote address, Kristi Montgomery will explore some innovation trends and emerging technologies driving rapid adoption; explore how they will impact warehouse/DC management: and share some practical ways to approach innovation and digital transformation that will go beyond the buzzwords to drive success.
In this session, our speaker offers an overview of what’s driving this need to automate; examines the automated solutions currently transforming warehouse/DC operations; explores how automation can best be applied; and offers a roadmap for operations managers.
As mainstays of the supply chain, warehouse/DC operations depend on software to help keep the inner workings running smoothly, quickly and efficiently. For many, a warehouse management system (WMS) is command central—that core solution needed to make that happen.
Our presenters will offer an in-depth look at the different types of robotic solutions on the market; put the spotlight on some the hottest trends; examine the value proposition behind these various approaches; and explore how operations can better tie robotics in with automation and the workforce.
In this session, our speaker will assess the relative maturity of key mobile technology solutions, including device trends, wearables, RFID and real-time location tracking, machine vision, voice solutions, as well as wireless networking and 5G advancements.
In this session, our presenter will explain what MFC automation involves; how big these systems are in terms of square footage; the varying business models they will support; and of course, what to expect in terms of take-up and numbers of MFCs in the coming few years.
