In Focus Ep23: Retail Automation

In Focus | Retail Automation. Are robots taking over the retail industry? Host Karl McKeever sits down with John Toler, CEO of US retailer Plow & Hearth, and Samay Kohli, CEO of warehouse robotics company, GreyOrange to find out.

E-commerce had a transformative effect on retail operations but now the booming demand for warehouses to speed-up last-mile deliveries is set to bring another round of dramatic change in retail.

Robots are well established in industrial settings but advances in AI and robotic SaaS platforms are increasingly working alongside humans in the retail industry, and having a dramatic effect on warehouse operations and how retailers and brands make their businesses more efficient and productive.

In the latest episode of our ‘In Focus’ series, we examine why forward-looking leaders are investing in intelligent automation; and the challenges and opportunities presented by robotics.
