Session 2 – Factory Logistics, Warehouse Optimization & Material Handling Discussion Points:

• Implementation of automated conveyor systems, robotic arms, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for efficient material movement within factories.
• Just-in-time (JIT) inventory systems to minimize storage costs and reduce waste.
• Deployment of forklifts, pallet jacks, and overhead cranes for the internal movement of heavy materials like steel, aluminum, and other metals.
• Packaging
• Warehouse Optimization: Efficient layout design for warehouses to minimize travel time and optimize space utilization. Use of vertical storage solutions and automated retrieval systems for better space management.
