Robots and other forms of material handling automation have been fixtures in warehouses for many years. What's new is the application of artificial intelligence to those systems and devices — the coming of physical AI. So how is this latest wave of automation making warehouses more efficient and responsive? We explore that subject with the help of Tim Gaus, principal and smart manufacturing business leader with Deloitte. We learn how distribution facilities are combining AI software with robotics and automation hardware to transform operations. Most importantly, we discuss the role of human workers in the era of physical AI. What tasks will they perform? How will they work side-by-side with "intelligent" robots. For that matter, will they be there at all? Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
