The first half of the presentation consists of a quick flyover of how megatrends and external factors affect logistics and material handling, as well as what this means for the need and demand for automation solutions. The second half makes an attempt to compare costs and risks when implementing automation projects with costs and risks from continued manual handling, and how both financial and operational risks in automation can be reduced.
Viktor Brandon Leek is Logistics Solutions Director at Toyota Material Handling, and is thus responsible for the automation portfolio at Sweden’s market-leading supplier of material handling equipment.
