Robots, robots everywhere. If you attended ProMat 2023, you know that robotics is dominating the automated materials handling world today. You’d think that everyone is already using, or about to use, a robot.

That’s not exactly true, but there’s no question that most warehouse and distribution center operators are thinking about robots – in fact, the number is about 75% of respondents to the 2nd annual robotics survey from Modern Materials Handling and The Robotics Group at MHI.

Warehouse Robotics

In this special episode of Talking Materials Handling, we talk about the state of robotics in warehousing and distribution with Crystal Parrott, chair of The Robotics Group and chief operating officer of Plus One Robotics.
