As robots expand their presence in the consumer-facing world with food preparation and education - just to name a few - what automation processes organizations need to tackle to handle these interactions and manage expectations with consumers?
In this webinar, we will explore a real-world case study of how S&S Activewear collaborated with Körber Supply Chain and Geekplus to leverage robotics solutions in response to the evolving needs of consumers.
