Zebra Technologies has announced the EMEA debut of its latest offering, a warehouse solution built on Industry 5.0 human-centred automation, at IntraLogisteX on 28-29 March at the NEC, Birmingham.
This news comes just days ahead of the opening of the biggest intralogistics and warehousing trade show in the UK, which, for the first time, will be co-located with Robotics and Automation – the UK’s largest dedicated robotics and automation exhibition.
Visitors to Stand i820 can learn about Zebra’s human-centred approach to warehousing operations, featuring its Fetch autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and a new breed of fixed scanning and machine vision cameras powered by Zebra Aurora software.
Daniel Dombach, EMEA Director of Industry Solutions at Zebra, said: “There’s no single definition of Industry 5.0, but one of the characteristics that distinguishes it is the focus on putting people first.
“If Industry 4.0 is largely about digitisation, AI, and autonomous systems which we’re seeing today, then the early signs of 5.0 are seen in human-centred automation – how we’re rethinking those technologies to empower front-line workers, create more personalised solutions that companies can tailor to their needs, and more sustainable operations for business and the good of society.
“Another key feature of Industry 5.0 discussions is the emphasis on the evolving skills and training needs of workers today and tomorrow.
“Modern technology must be easy to use to speed up training time and give more workers the sense that they too can use these solutions in their day-to-day jobs, which is more important than ever in the face of ongoing labour shortages.
“Today, we’re seeing major warehouse operators, e-commerce leaders, and automotive manufacturers turn to Zebra’s robotics automation and Aurora-powered scanning and data-capture solutions.”
In addition to this technology, Zebra will also highlight solutions including intelligent cabinets for mobile devices and VisibilityIQ Foresight, which gives warehouse operators instant business intelligence about their Zebra devices for data-driven decisions with predictive and actionable analytics.
Zebra Technologies (stand i820) will be at IntraLogisteX on 28-29 March 2023 at the NEC Birmingham. For more information, visit www.intralogistex.co.uk.
