The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

For too long, people have looked at automation with a wary eye, seeing it as a threat to their jobs and livelihood. What we have learned in practice, however, paints a very different picture – one that is better for workers. Fergal Glynn, Vice President of Marketing at 6 River Systems, recently joined The Buzz to share his perspective on the actual impact of automation in fulfillment centers.

In this session, created in collaboration with a live digital audience, Fergal, Scott, and Greg talk about:

• The skyrocketing cost to move a shipping container from China to the United States right now – on top of the delays being faced at nearly every U.S. port

• How humans and robots are learning to work in automated harmony in fulfillment centers and warehouses

• The latest trends and innovations in fulfillment center management.
