Autonomous

Walmart announced that it will deploy 19 autonomous lift trucks at four DCs, enhancing efficiency and transforming the way employees work.

In an interview with a Danish newspaper, Maersk CTO Navneet Kapoor said the company is using AI to automate as much as 20% of its logistics tasks today and hopes to increase that to 80% within seven years.

While the technology has been available for a decade, auton­omous lift trucks have been slow to catch on. That may be changing.
