Event details

It has been predicted that almost a third of the value to be created by AI in the next 20 years will result from applying the technology to supply chains alone. With AI powered robotics, automation and data analytics already being commonly deployed, intralogistics has a lot to gain from the artificial intelligence revolution.


This webinar will hear from industry figures and AI experts on:

  • the potential of artificial intelligence in the warehousing environment covering productivity, safety, inventory control and contingency planning
  • what the warehouse of the future will look like and how it will operate
  • real world applications of the technology
  • managing the risks that come with its deployment
  • the implications for the workforce and skills development


All attendees will receive a CPD certificate.
