Automated Materials Handling Solutions

There are more automated materials handling solutions available than ever before. The challenge: Integrating them so that the whole is greater than sum of the parts. As it turns out interfacing with all of those tools is easy but integrating them into a solution is hard.

On this episode of Talking Materials Handling, Mark Fralick, Softeon’s chief technology officer, walks us through the integration challenge and describes a new framework for solving the problem.
