Episode Details

A pallet of freight travels thousands of miles for pennies per item — then costs thirty times more to move six feet across a warehouse floor. This episode unpacks pallet breaking: why it's the last human-dominated frontier in logistics, the three scenarios that force it, and the robotics innovations finally tackling a problem that costs the industry billions annually. From mixed-SKU perception challenges to remote-operated depalletizing systems, we explore what's coming that might finally kill the most expensive touch in the supply chain.
