From robotic grippers to machine vision and artificial intelligence, progress is accelerating in automated manipulation. In this week’s webinar on robotic case and each picking, industry leaders will discuss technologies and widening use cases.
Until recently, humans could pick and place individual SKUs and cases faster and more accurately than robots. However, people tend to work in bursts, affecting accuracy; repetitive motion can lead to injury; labor is increasingly scarce and expensive.
In this free webinar, attendees can learn how robots plus people can improve productivity, from collaborative picking to human-supervised exception handling. The virtual panel will also discuss challenges in manipulating different shapes, materials, and weights, as well as how their organizations have addressed them with physical AI.
The editorial roundtable, which will be on Wednesday, June 3, at noon ET, will cover:
- Where the need for automated picking is most acute
- Advances in robotic manipulation for case and each picking
- How the “data flywheel” is training AI-guided picking
- What the future looks like for human supervision
Register now to attend this broadcast, get your questions answered live, and watch afterwards on demand.
