Event Description

Every business that fulfills orders and ships directly to customers is facing two big challenges. They need to work faster to keep up with consumer demands, and they need to do it with less labor because they can't find enough people to work in a warehouse. It's a perfect storm. That's why warehouses are turning to intelligent automation to increase productivity and cut operational costs.

Scholastic will share how they have doubled productivity and are on a path to reduce operating expenses by 30%. Introducing both AI and robotic automation into their distribution workflows is reshaping their entire warehouse to work more efficiently.

Chad and Lior will discuss how Scholastic Canada transformed its Ontario facility to become hyper-efficient through adoption of advanced technologies, including AI-powered software and mobile robotics.

You'll learn how Scholastic Canada:

  • Evaluated and chose the right automation solution for their business
  • Leverages the continuous upgrades included with robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) to stay ahead of the technology curve
  • Replaced expensive, fixed equipment with nimble mobile robots that can easily be "lifted and shifted" as business needs change
