Goods to Person session presented by

Managing Mobile Robots and Goods-to-Person Systems

Contrary to the popular belief that robots will replace people, goods-to-person systems move shelves, bins or totes to workers. In addition to tools for managing robot operations, operators can improve efficiency — as long as all parties understand their processes and throughput. This panel will examine best practices for coordinating robots, workers, and other systems.
