A RightPick system with an ASRS illustrating lights out operate. Supply: RightHand Robotics
Warehouse operators are turning to robotics and automation to satisfy expectations for decrease prices and ever-faster success. “Lights-out” amenities promise full automation, however most of right this moment’s warehouses and distribution facilities nonetheless depend on guide processes. A panel dialogue on the 2025 Robotics Summit & Expo will talk about the maturing applied sciences that allow lights-out operations.
This session on “Maximizing the Worth of a Warehouse By way of Lights Out Order Achievement” might be at 11:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, Could 1, in Room 256 of the Boston Conference and Exhibition Middle. The panelists may even think about the roles of choosing programs, cell robots, and automatic storage and retrieval programs (ASRS).
In keeping with our consultants, end-to-end automation requires a transparent enterprise mannequin, correctly built-in applied sciences, and software program and processes to handle the return on funding (ROI). Attendees can study extra concerning the following:
- How warehouses can climate present financial disruptions
- Enabling robots to work with legacy programs and different equipment
- The place human associates or supervision nonetheless is smart
- How a lot demand there’s for lights-out amenities
- The function of software program, information, and synthetic intelligence in enhancing accuracy and throughput
- How vital are integrators?
Study from consultants in lights-out success
