When the process is easy and fluid enough for people of various levels to be comfortable working with and around robots, there\u2019s no question that the team will work together effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some highlights from the interview:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Robots have become much more than a piece of hardware that performs production tasks, giving IT leaders an opportunity to advocate for the business value that these machines can deliver in manufacturing and warehousing.<\/li><li>Advances in the software that control the robots can contribute to the collection of critical process and performance data, giving IT a critical role in the automation process.<\/li><li>Working with their counterparts in operations early in the process to define how the robots will contribute to the workflows \u2013 well before vendors are invited in \u2013 is essential.<\/li><li>Overcoming skepticism about the role of robots starts with making sure that the warehouse workers who will be working the robots are part of the strategy and execution of any automation project.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cAdvanced systems orchestrate how the robot works with people and where it goes and when, all while collecting data that can be captured in data lakes.
