Look, robots are cool, and we like to joke about whether a Terminator-style world takeover could happen, but they also have very practical value when used alongside workers, especially in warehousing, distribution & manufacturing. Mark Wheeler, Zebra’s Director of Supply Chain Solutions, joins the show to discuss the current market for robots. What’s holding supply chain leaders back from implementing augmentation technology? What happens to facilities that embrace this kind of automation? What kind of data and analytics can robots bring to enterprises?

VARValue – What type of customer benefits the most from robots? Any success stories? What’s the future for robots in other industries? (Shoutout to Cory McClelland from Arrowhead Resellers for the topic and these questions!)
