Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Take Center Stage in Warehouse Automation

The writing is on the wall for traditional, manual-based processes in supply chain management, says Cade Metz of The New York Times. While Amazon leads the way, other companies, including carriers such as FedEx and DHL, are testing and developing robotic-based systems to speed operations. Unfortunately, limitations of robotics continue to exist, and adaptation is the only way to achieve greater opportunities. Supply chain leaders need to understand these current limitations, and how artificial intelligence and warehouse management lead to efficiency gains and the top benefits of AI-driven robotics. Today's level of robotics have severe limitations to mobility and use, says Steve Banker via Forbes.
