Session Details

WED 18 MAR / 12 noon / Stream A

Identify hidden risks before they become costly mistakes, including timing, integration, and lifecycle considerations and operational disruption often missed early. 

Gain a future-focused perspective on designing scalable operations that support growth over the next decade - not just the next financial year.

Reframe how you evaluate automation decisions - moving beyond hype to focus on long-term performance, resilience, and return on investment. Equipping leaders with a practical framework to assess automation options. 

Benchmarking Australian operations against global leaders to identify where to double down, where to course-correct, and how to build automation strategies that stand the test of time. 

Robotics and Goods-to-Person (GTP) Systems
​Across retail, FMCG, cold storage, pharma and distribution, warehouse operators are navigating a familiar paradox: rising volume, tighter labour markets, constrained space and higher customer expectations - often inside facilities that were never designed for today’s operating reality.

Working with Daifuku



At Daifuku, we don’t start with technology. We start with intent.

Across retail, FMCG, cold storage, pharma and distribution, warehouse operators are navigating

a familiar paradox: rising volume, tighter labour markets, constrained space and higher customer expectations - often inside facilities that were never designed for today’s operating reality.

 

Automation is no longer a future ambition; it is a strategic decision that directly shapes cost,

resilience and growth.

 

Our role is to help organisations make that decision well.

We work as a long-term partner to design, deliver and support intralogistics solutions that are commercially sound, operationally grounded and built to evolve. Not automation for automation’s

sake - but intelligent flow that aligns technology, data and people around measurable outcomes.
