Webinar: Automating the Last Mile

The rise of e-commerce platforms and subsequent demise of several well-known retail stores, including Sears, is itself a testament to the disruptive power of technology. As more packages are shipped around the world than ever before, many are asking how to move packages cheaper and more quickly. The “last mile” – the last part of the delivery process to a final destination – is the biggest opportunity for innovation. It is the most challenging and expensive part of delivery, often navigating through complex environments and comprising as much as 50% of total shipping costs. This webinar will analyze the landscape of last-mile technologies – ranging from drones to mobile robots and more – to identify which ones are worth the investment and which are doomed to fail.
