A RightPick system with an ASRS illustrating lights out operate. Supply: RightHand Robotics
Warehouse operators are turning to robotics and automation to fulfill expectations for decrease prices and ever-faster success. “Lights-out” services promise full automation, however most of at the 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 Lights Out Order Success” will likely be at 11:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, Might 1, in Room 256 of the Boston Conference and Exhibition Heart. The panelists can even take into account the roles of choosing programs, cell robots, and automatic storage and retrieval programs (ASRS).
Based on our specialists, 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 be taught 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 sensible
- How a lot demand there’s for lights-out services
- The position of software program, knowledge, and synthetic intelligence in bettering accuracy and throughput
- How essential are integrators?
Be taught from specialists in lights-out success
