What You Will Learn
TJ Fanning, COO of SVT Robotics, brings over twenty years of experience in robotics, supply chain, and logistics to his presentation. He will delve into the latest technologies, such as LiDAR, IoT, WES, robotic standards, AMRs, and AGVs, and discuss how they have the potential to revolutionize the supply chain. However, Fanning will also acknowledge the challenges that come with rapid innovation in the industry, as it increases risk and complexity for companies looking to adopt and implement these new technologies.
To help companies navigate these challenges, Fanning will present a plan for simplifying the supply chain. He will begin by stressing the importance of understanding the specific tasks that need to be automated and the problems that need to be solved. He will then guide listeners through uncovering their organization's long-term goals and objectives and aligning them with the new technologies being considered. He will also discuss the importance of establishing network capabilities and analyzing the operational capabilities of available solutions.
Fanning will also emphasize the importance of simplifying data generation and storage, including collecting missing data, normalizing data, and making it accessible. He will present a framework for establishing a short- and long-term vision to drive selection and gathering requirements for the initial solution and continuous improvement and support. Additionally, he will provide a framework for evaluating solutions to ensure compatibility with existing systems and infrastructure.
Finally, Fanning will suggest using data to define acceptance criteria, confirm ROI, and validate operational confidence. By using data to make decisions, companies can be sure they are investing in the right technologies to deliver the desired results. He will also discuss the industry's efforts to drive towards simplicity, including standardizing robotics communication standards, creating new communities and events, and developing new software tools to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain.
