When it comes to automating the warehouse, buying the robots is just the beginning.

The urge to automate the warehouse these days is irresistible, and the reasons are many: intensifying consumer demands for fast turnaround on orders, higher costs of operation and the current labor shortage among them. But distribution managers would be making a mistake if they assumed that merely putting the robots into place will solve their operational issues. There’s the matter of how and where to implement the technology, and what role humans continue to play. Because like or not, they won’t be disappearing from the warehouse anytime soon. On this episode, we hear from Jeff Christensen, vice president of product with Seegrid, about how to implement autonomous mobile robots into the warehouse, including tips on selling the concept both to workers on the warehouse floor and those in the executive suite. The message: Every successful automation project depends on more than the hardware. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
