Robotics is transforming the warehouse — but how close are we really to fully automated logistics?
In this episode of Logistics Business Conversations, Paul Hamblin is joined by Volker Sadowski of BEUMER Group to explore how robotics is changing parcel handling, warehousing and distribution.
They discuss robotic picking, the challenge of handling exceptions, why AMRs are becoming increasingly attractive for flexible operations, and how automation can help address labour shortages and difficult working environments.
The conversation also looks at why the final few percentage points of automation are often the hardest — and most expensive — to achieve, plus the potential for humanoid robots to work alongside people in logistics sooner than many might expect.
From robot picking to the future of truck unloading, this is a fascinating look at where warehouse robotics is heading next.
