Panel discussion: Are halls ready for automation and robotics?
The automation and robotization of intralogistics are discussed in all forums, less so the basic prerequisites for their development, i.e. the preparation of halls. What prevents the placement of automated and robotic warehouse technology in old halls? What technical adaptations are needed in the old halls? How expensive is it to build a sustainable new hall on a brownfield site and install automated or robotic systems in it? Will it work out cheaper on a greenfield site if legislative, ESG and economic requirements are taken into account? What are the basic and superior technical requirements for new halls with automation or robotics? To what extent are manufacturing companies willing to invest in new halls or brownfield redevelopment to build automated or robotic warehouses? We will try to answer these questions in a panel discussion with representatives of companies that automate, those that offer automation and developers who build industrial real estate.
The panel discussion will be moderated by Patricia Jakešová, retail management expert.
