Learn about digitalization in the warehouse in new webinar

Designing and deploying a digital warehouse can be a challenge, with numerous technology options to add to your operations. From robotics and automation to the latest data analytics and artificial intelligence, how can you take advantage of digitalization?

At 2:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, Dec. 4, expert panelists will discuss how emerging technologies are changing how engineers design warehouse systems and how businesses can gain insights and efficiencies with them. Sensors, digital twins, wearables, and virtual assistants are some of the tools that are part of this digital transformation.

In this free webinar, viewers can learn about:

• Ways to improve labor productivity with workforce management
• The orchestration of people and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for order picking and fulfillment
• Where augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) fit in the warehouse
• How AI will change how operators use data in positive feedback cycle
• How to scale digital transformation across facilities and the supply chain

Register now to attend this webinar on digitalization, and have your questions answered live. Registrants will be able to view it on demand after the broadcast date.
