The State of Warehouse Automation

The Robot Report Podcast · 1 Aug 2024 · 1h 22m

What this episode covers

Tim Tetzlaff of DHL Supply Chain, John Santagate of Körber Supply Chain, and Adrian Stoch of GXO discuss the state of warehouse automation, emphasizing that successful deployment requires business-led use cases, flexibility, and human-in-the-loop orchestration rather than just technology. The panelists highlight challenges in selecting the right technology for diverse operations and the critical need for simulation, proof-of-concept testing, and clear business requirements to avoid costly mistakes. In a separate interview, Carlos Bielicki of Performance Motion Devices explains that robot manufacturers face pressure to miniaturize motion control electronics and provide total solutions to compensate for shrinking engineering teams and tight timelines.

    238: Scaling Smart: Warehouse Automation and Calculated Growth at Startups with Adi Dalvi, VP of Sales at OSARO

    Adi Dalvi, VP of Sales at OSARO, explains how the company achieved calculated growth by prioritizing product robustness over speed, integrating vision software with articulating arm robots to automate warehouse piece-picking. He details OSARO's three-step criteria for selecting early customers—focusing on size, risk profile, and collaboration—and outlines the four distinct founder backgrounds (industry, startup, VC, and academia) that contribute to the company's success. Dalvi also shares strategies for extending runway through investor gate checks and negotiating case studies into initial contracts to build market credibility without heavy early marketing.
