Tuesday, June 19th | 11:00am - 11:45am
According to a report by the United Nations last year, nearly one-third of all jobs in first-world countries will be lost to robots and AI in the next 15 years. As technology innovators, the panelists will discuss the elephant in the room -- the ethical and policy dilemma of automation and unemployment. They will showcase ways to reduce the friction of technology deployment and demonstrate how collaborative approaches can produce an abundance of opportunities for the US.
Case Study: Robotic Piece Picking Strategies
Tuesday, June 19th | 1:15pm - 2:00pm
The presentation will analyze the spectrum of "Mobile Collaborative Piece Picking Robots" on the market today. DHL is working with various companies in this field as this emerging technology is proving to be flexible, scalable and ideally suited to e-e-commerce/unit pick operations. A case study will demonstrate there is no one perfect solution as an operation's profile will ultimately determine the recommended approach.
Building the Business for Mobile Robots
Day/Time TBD
SAP along with Fetch Robotics established the business case for warehouse management. During this session, the speaker will talk about the warehouse management part, the business case and how the ERP is managed by SAP ERP.
