Warehouse operators looking to adopt robots soon realize that it is typically a process rather than a simple point solution. What are the considerations for successfully navigating the automated warehouse journey?
From autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and picking systems to artificial intelligence and data analytics, there are many options and potential pitfalls for warehouses as they modernize. In this free webinar on “Beginning the Automated Warehouse Journey, From Evaluating Technologies to ROI,” experts will share their insights and best practices.
They will discuss the following topics:
- How to evaluate where to add automation
- What technologies are available
- How to manage deployment and integration
- Monitoring and maintaining one’s return on investment (ROI)
This webinar, the first in our Automated Warehouse Training Days, will be at 2:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2024. Register now to attend and have your questions answered live. The discussion will be viewable on demand for registrants after the broadcast date.
