Now, the long-predicted recession may be coming – we’ve never had this many consecutive years of growth without a downturn in the past – but the numbers that relate to industry are pretty darn good. In Toyota Material Handling's corner of the industry, these are the best of times. Wood said the materials handling industry sold a combined total…

Q: What is your number one takeaway from ProMat 2019? Christopher Barber: Robotics and supply chain automation have become commonplace. Compared to just a couple of years ago, there are more suppliers and more users. The industry is making the transition from fixed automation to robotics. We are at a juncture very similar to the mid-1980s when computers were first taking their place in manufacturing and distribution. Clearly, big changes are coming. Furthermore, robots come in different forms whether they are follow-me, cobots, pick-and-place or other types. Unlike fixed automation, they scale very easily with fast payback. As needs and…
