    All Things Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) with Seegrid's Jeff Christensen

    Jeff Christensen, VP of Product at Seegrid, discusses the evolution of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in manufacturing, explaining how they solve material handling challenges by combining physical robots with logical and learning software layers. He argues that AMRs eliminate the historical trade-off between predictability and flexibility, allowing manufacturers to automate repetitive tasks while humans handle creative problem-solving. Christensen highlights how data collected by robots enables continuous improvement and cites a case study where operational efficiency gains allowed a global manufacturer to reshore an assembly line from Mexico to the US.
