The Modern Distribution Center w/Chris Jackson & Kevin Thomas

Distribution has been a big, growing business for some time now, but probably never more so than when a pandemic forced millions to stay home and rely on ship-to-home, curbside pickup and other methods to get the products they need quickly and safely. We all know that these demands (and some panic buying) put a strain on our supply chain and exposed some weaknesses in processes and the ability to keep employees within warehouses and distribution centers safe and healthy. This week, we’re joined by Savant’s Chris Jackson and BlueStar’s Kevin Thomas to discuss the technology that’s moving distribution into the future. Where are robots, RFID, AI and wearables fitting in? What is the current and future impact of COVID-19? What have we learned and how can we secure the supply chain against future crises?
