In this episode, our guests from Hai Robotics, Chief Revenue Officer Brian Reinhart and Director of Sales Hunter Senn join us to discuss the evolution of ASRS technology. They dive into the importance of storage density and throughput, the role of software in automation, and the impact of consumer demand on the industry.

They emphasize the need for a consultative approach, scalability, and reliability in designing automation systems and fostering long-term relationships with clients.

• What the evolving landscape of ASRS technology looks like and its applications in various industries.

• The importance of storage density and throughput in designing automation solutions.

• Why the role of software and communication protocols in automation system is so crucial

• How to successfully meet market demands and prevent inventory management issues through automation.

In this episode, Andrew Jackson, Account Executive at Vecna, discusses the importance of safety processes in the face of automation. He highlights the role of automation in improving worker satisfaction, enhancing efficiency, and minimizing risk. From conducting risk assessments to implementing interactive AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), Andrew unveils the potential of automation to create a more secure and productive work environment. Safety as a Priority: Andrew emphasizes the significance of safety risk assessments and the need for a systematic approach to prevent workplace incidents. Enhancing Efficiency: The implementation of AMRs and AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) leads to increased throughput, improved adaptability, and time savings, enabling workers to focus on critical tasks. Intelligent Systems: Andrew explains how AMRs utilize advanced sensor technologies, such as LiDAR, to interact and adapt to their environment, ensuring safe operations and enabling efficient decision-making. Overcoming Resistance to Change: Andrew addresses the fear of automation and highlights the importance of successfully integrating automation into workplaces by promoting worker collaboration, demonstrating the benefits, and dispelling misconceptions.

In this conversation, Chloë Lind interviews Steve Simmerman, Head of Global Alliances at Locus Robotics, to discuss the best way to utilize AMRs in your warehouse. They discuss everything from Robots-as-a-Service to worker Safety.
