So much has been unfolding on a daily basis as we move into recovery, and there’s never been more attention being focused on warehouse/DC fulfillment operations—especially now as e-commerce orders climb across the board.

In this podcast, Jerome Dubois, co-founder of 6 River Systems, shares his unique perspective on the current warehouse/DC fulfillment operations environment; helps to put some of the key challenges into perspective (safe re-opening of operations; ongoing and evolving labor issues; increasing customer demands; multiple peaks across different markets); and shares how a flexible, collaborative robotic solution can be quickly implemented to keep pace with this current environment and solve today’s challenges on multiple fronts.
