Intelligrated® , a leading North American-based automated material handling solutions provider, announces the fourth installment of its On the Move educational webinar series. The new episode, “Shuttles: The new face of the DC workforce,” is scheduled for Thursday, May 19 at 2 p.m. EST.
 
Presented by Chris Lingamfelter, vice president, integrated system sales and strategy, the webinar highlights the advanced shuttle systems and robotic picking technologies designed to help distribution centers optimize outbound flow and reduce labor requirements to meet rising consumer expectations. Attendees can learn how to evaluate the viability of a shuttle and robotic system in their operation, how to integrate these systems into order fulfillment and inventory management applications, and how to maximize their AS/RS storage investments. The webinar will also cover the evolution of item picking, from conventional operator-to-goods to new goods-to-robot methodologies.
 
“As distribution operations continue their search to improve operational efficiency, shuttle systems offer a solution to reduce storage and labor costs while increasing throughput,” says Lingamfelter. “This webinar arms operators with the information to evaluate the viability of a highly automated solution, and the integration and operational advice to leverage the technology to maximum effect.”
