Session 5: Robotics

State of robotics: Why your business should be considering this technology in 2021

Robots, including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), are seeing a rapid uptake in logistics and supply chain operations—and their usage is projected to increase as we recover from the pandemic. The labor crunch and the ability of AMRs to offload manual travel are central to their quick success inside our operations.

In this session, presenter Jeff Hedges offers attendees an in-depth look at the different types of robots coming into the market, examines the value proposition behind these various approaches, and explores how operations can better tie robotics in with automation and the workforce as logistics and supply chain operations work to build their long-term resilience strategy

Attendees will better understand:

  • Why the sense of urgency to implement robotic solutions
  • How robotic solutions are able to grow with your business
  • Why robotic solutions are becoming a commodity
  • What is still lacking in the robotics industry
