More and more warehouse operators are opting for implementation of robotics technology, says Kait Peterson, senior director of product marketing at Locus Robotics.

Automation in the supply chain is certainly not new. However, recent advances in artificial intelligence-based systems have made automation far more effective.

Automated forklifts are designed to do a lot on their own, but they're not as self-sufficient when it comes to service and maintenance.

Vision, mobility and enhanced safety features make robotics ideal for labor automation, says Divya Prakash, director of business consulting at SICK.

A discussion about the major themes and challenges that emerged from the recent spring meeting of the MHI Solutions Community, held at Modex 2022 in Atlanta.

Nicola Tomatis, chief executive officer of BlueBotics, discusses interoperability of AGVs and things to consider before investing in automated vehicles.

Flexible automation, labor augmentation and longer lead times for project delivery are among the major trends in material handling, says Christian Dow, executive vice president of leadership and membership at MHI.

Robotics make it easier for operators to manage productivity in a time of severe labor shortages, says Karen Leavitt, chief marketing officer at Locus Robotics.
