In this episode, guest Brandon Coats, global product manager for robotics and vision at Material Handling Systems (MHS), discusses artificial intelligence. We have all heard of AI and its potential for improving our lives. Coats talks about some of the misconceptions about artificial intelligence and offers some practical applications where AI can improve distribution operations.
We also look at this week's ProMatDX 2021. This virtual experience of North America's largest material handling show did not disappoint. We discuss the 8th Annual Industry Report and what it says about the health of the industry and how supply chain leaders are boosting their technology spending to build resilience in their operations. We look at the products awarded as most innovative at the show. We discuss how automation may or may not be the right fit, depending on your products, market, and a number of other factors. And we examine how one company scaled automation within their distribution facility in less than 90 days.
