What everyone's talking about, but where practice lags behind the promise. Learn about AI adoption in this Lunch & Learn morning session.
AI in warehouse operations and planning is a topic everyone’s talking about, but where practice often still lags behind the promise.
During this event, we’ll show what’s already possible today, what’s coming, and how you as an organization can take steps forward.
No abstract visions of the future, but concrete applications that connect to everyday challenges.
By the end of the morning, you’ll head home with concrete ideas on how AI can take your warehouse further.

How can you already use AI today in planning and operational processes? Slimstock takes you through how they view AI, the role data plays in it, and where AI actually adds value in practice. They’ll share concrete examples of applications around forecasting, data quality, decision-making, and process support with AI, and explain what new AI applications you can expect. A practical session for logistics professionals who want to understand where AI is already making an impact within the supply chain today.
What does it mean when your devices don’t just record, but also signal? Zebra Technologies shows how AI-ready mobile devices pull real-time data from the shop floor, automatically catching scanning errors and barcode issues. What is “on-device AI” and how do RFID, location data, and modern inventory management help you get AI-ready? This presentation will be given in English.
How do you translate that data into something that makes your daily work easier? CaptureTech shows which AI applications are already running with customers today, how data solutions fit into that, and what’s on the roadmap.
