Webi­nar: How robots help in footwear warehouses?

The upcom­ing peak sea­son around black Fri­day will be a chal­lenge like every year for e‑commerce and in par­tic­u­lar footwear ware­houses. But this year it might be even more chal­leng­ing because of all the uncer­tainty around recent devel­op­ments like COVID-19 or clogged sup­ply chains. The fast-grow­ing Ger­man robot­ics com­pany Mag­a­zino, the British Footwear Asso­ci­a­tion and FIEGE Logis­tics are host­ing a joint webi­nar to dis­cuss those chal­lenges on Octo­ber 27. FIEGE has been using the Mag­a­zino robots for years in their footwear ware­house that han­dles the logis­tics for the DEICHMANN online shop. The fleet of shoe box pick­ing robots has become a cru­cial ele­ment of sup­port, espe­cially dur­ing peak seasons.

In the upcom­ing webi­nar you will learn about:

• How crazy will it get? A fore­cast of this year’s peak sea­son between Black Fri­day, Cyber Week and Christmas
• What to expect in times of “post-covid” devel­op­ments and clogged sup­ply chains
• How do mobile pick­ing robots sup­port logis­tics oper­a­tion in footwear warehouses?
• Best prac­tice: How and why FIEGE Logis­tics uses robots to sup­port their footwear shipping

Speak­ers include:

• Lucy Reece-Ray­bould, CEO at British Footwear Association
• Christoph Man­gel­mans, Man­ag­ing Direc­tor Omnichan­nel Retail, FIEGE Logistics
• Fred­erik Brant­ner, CEO, Magazino
