In-store automation and communication in global retailing moving forward
The retail industry is undergoing tremendous change.

This talk will focus on supermarket food waste and its significant impact on the climate. With 40% of all food produced is wasted, award-winning food waste campaigner Matt Homewood will uncover the global food waste farce and review the impacts. Most importantly, technological and legislative solutions will be explored so that we can forge an exit plan to start making our food system fairer, more sustainable, and more efficient.

Improve the efficiency and sustainability of your Retail supply chain
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the labour shortage was causing many companies to consider dramatically changing their operation and implementing automation wherever possible. The global interruption of supply chains caused by the pandemic has now sped up that cycle. Sustainability is another hot topic. Everybody is looking to reduce their “carbon footprint”, but not at the cost of losing operational efficiency and effectiveness. In our presentation, we will go through some wheeled logistics solutions to show how they can help you both reach your efficiency goals and your sustainability targets.
