Here’s the timeline roadmap with takeaways:

[02:10] #Private5G > Wi-Fi → Warehouses can’t rely on patchy coverage. Private 5G reduces AP count by ~70%, delivers consistent low latency, and supports seamless handoff for mobile robots and rugged devices. That’s resilience + lower TCO.

[15:40] #Smartinfrastructure → Modern #warehouses are as much about IT architecture as forklifts. Think rack-mounted cores, redundant SIMs, ceiling-mounted APs, and designs tested to support 100+ concurrent devices in #toughindustrial environments.

[22:05] #Compliance & #safety → Dashboards track assets, workers, and machines in real time. #Geofencing down to 2–4 cm means forklifts don’t enter restricted aisles, pallets stay visible, and safety violations trigger instant alerts. Compliance becomes proactive, not paperwork.

[28:02] #AMRs replacing 22 seasonal pickers → In one customer site, two collaborative #robots replaced 22 seasonal pickers. Beyond ~$70K in #savings, #automation gave consistent #throughput, reliability in peak season, and the ability to scale on demand without constant re-hiring. Peer Robotics

[30:50] #Agentic #AI in action → #Predictivemaintenance, #exceptionhandling, anomaly detection, and dynamic rerouting of tasks. AI agents are moving from dashboards into execution, pushing us closer to self-optimizing warehouses.

[38:00] #Changeadoption → The hardest upgrade isn’t tech — it’s people. Our #experience with #superusers at #innovative customers shows adoption works when operators see how tech improves safety, ergonomics, and downtime reduction. #ROI is great, but peer-to-peer validation makes it stick.
