Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming industry as we know it. Robots already have a long-standing history with supply chain technology, with one of the earliest industrial robots inspiring modern day Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs.) No longer a plot point in science fiction dramas, these new technologies have presented real opportunities for improvements across supply chains. While the cost of implementing robotics into the supply chain may be an easy decision for industry giants like Amazon, for smaller businesses, implementing robotics into their supply chain is still in the distant future.
