The Journey from Manual to Automation: Do’s & Don’ts for Orchestrating Forklifts and Mobile Robots

A few key takeaways from the discussion:

• Do design automation around real warehouse processes, not a theoretical ideal
• Do give every vehicle shared, real-time awareness of its space
• Do optimise the flow for automation
• Do build interoperability in from the start

And just as importantly:

• Don’t assume autonomy solves everything—knowledge is key
• Don’t deploy blindly; know your baseline efficiency first
• Don’t copy-paste a manual workflow
• Don’t build a walled garden
