Seeking to reduce manual travel and improve fulfillment speed, the company implemented CaseFlow, Vecna Robotics’ intelligent case picking solution. Andy Johnston, Senior Director of Design Engineering & Innovation, and Steve Elsbury,…

Robot VS Wild Podcast

Automation is rapidly gaining momentum in the warehouse and logistics world, but meaningful, scalable success remains elusive. While the technology is reliable and the benefits are clear, a mere 20% of warehouses in North America have implemented any type of automation, according to a 2024 McKinsey report. While the majority of logistics and supply chain…

As consumer expectations for rapid delivery tighten supply chain timelines, warehouses face a logistical balancing act: they must move goods faster while dealing with labor shortages and ever-changing operational environments. Unlike manufacturing facilities, which thrive on predictable workflows, warehouses change minute by minute based on human activity, delivery windows, and inventory flow. Reflecting this operational…

Warehouse automation is rising sharply, with Gartner predicting that more than 75% of companies will have integrated cyber-physical systems into their operations by 2027. While this growth is driven by increasing demand for flexible, scalable fulfillment solutions, it brings new operational and robot safety challenges that traditional warehouse cultures and systems aren’t always prepared for….

As supply chains face mounting pressure to meet faster delivery times and adapt to shifting global demands, robotics and automation are no longer optional—they’re essential. According to McKinsey, automation technologies could increase worldwide productivity by 0.8% to 1.4% annually. But the real payoff isn’t in deploying a robot—it’s in building a coordinated, intelligent fleet….

In a logistics landscape where labor shortages persist and pressure to optimize warehouse throughput intensifies, many organizations are looking to automation as a solution. Yet, despite growing investments in robotics, especially autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), scaling warehouse automation remains a major challenge. The problem? It’s not the robots. It’s how they’re used. So, what really…

Warehouse automation is no longer a fringe concept—it’s accelerating fast. According to McKinsey, robot shipments are expected to grow by as much as 50% annually through 2030, and warehouse automation spending is rising by over 10% each year. As companies race to modernize operations, it’s becoming clear that real performance doesn’t come from hardware alone——it’s…

Despite the growing buzz around warehouse automation, a major piece of the puzzle remains largely untouched: case picking. While autonomous vehicles and robotic arms are gaining traction, many warehouses still depend on manual labor to move cases from shelf to pallet. This inefficiency not only slows down throughput but also places strain on workers…

As supply chains become more complex and labor shortages persist, warehouse operators are under mounting pressure to do more with less. In many facilities, over half of a worker’s time is spent not on picking items, but simply walking — an inefficiency that costs time, money, and morale. At the same time, the demand…
