This session examines global warehousing transformation through digitalisation and robotics. It highlights growth in dedicated, shared, and on-demand models, driven by e-commerce and last-mile delivery. Key technologies, including robotics, IoT, AR, and digital twins, are reviewed, alongside their impact on inventory visibility, labour productivity, and sustainable design in next-generation industrial facilities.

Key Takeaways:

  1. System integrators are evolving from hardware suppliers to orchestration specialists, enabling SMEs to combine the best robotics, software, and data systems.
