Warehouse operators are turning to robotics and automation to fulfill expectations for decrease prices and ever-faster success. “Lights-out” services promise full automation, however most of at present’s warehouses and distribution facilities nonetheless depend on handbook processes. A panel dialogue on the 2025 Robotics Summit & Expo will focus on the maturing applied sciences that allow lights-out operations.
This session on “Maximizing the Value of a Warehouse Through Lights Out Order Fulfillment” can be at 11:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, May 1, in Room 256 of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. The panelists will even take into account the roles of selecting programs, cellular robots, and automatic storage and retrieval programs (ASRS).
According to our specialists, end-to-end automation requires a transparent enterprise mannequin, correctly built-in applied sciences, and software program and processes to handle the return on funding (ROI). Attendees can be taught extra in regards to the following:
- How warehouses can climate present financial disruptions
- Enabling robots to work with legacy programs and different equipment
- Where human associates or supervision nonetheless is smart
- How a lot demand there’s for lights-out services
- The position of software program, knowledge, and synthetic intelligence in enhancing accuracy and throughput
- How mandatory are integrators?
