Redefining logistics: automation’s role in meeting modern shipping demands

Logistics is at a turning point. Labor shortages, surging e-commerce and consumer demand for faster, greener shipping drive the need for automation. Advanced robotics revolutionize parcel handling. Plus One Robotics' InductOne exemplifies this shift – its dual-arm system achieves pick rates of up to 3,300 per hour, 10% faster than competitors. This new generation of solutions enables fulfillment centers to scale efficiently, reduce labor dependence and meet modern logistics demands without compromising speed or quality. This session will explore real-world examples of how automation is reshaping logistics and meeting the challenges of today's fast-paced world without being too complex.
