Robots are becoming increasingly prevalent in Supply Chains. More so lately in the warehouse.To look more into this I invited Richard Kirker Global Solution Manager for Warehouse Management at SAP to come on the podcast to talk about what he's seeing.We had a fascinating conversation, where Richard told me robots are the new hotness now at warehouse management events, some interesting use cases he has seen for their deployment, and what the future of warehouse management looks like.  I learned loads, I hope you do too...If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn. Audio messages will get played (unless you specifically ask me not to).If you want to learn more about how to juggle sustainability and efficiency mandates while recovering from pandemic-induced disruptions, meeting growth targets, and preparing for an uncertain future, check out our Oxford Economics research report here.And if you want to read up on our Industry 4.0 blueprint repost, head on over to https://www.sap.com/cmp/dg/intro-industry40/index.html, and if you liked this show, please don't forget to rate and/or review it.

The Rise Of The Robots In Supply Chain - A Chat With Richard Kirker

There's a whole lot of disruption happening in supply chain right now. Lots of talk about how ports are backed up, and what needs to happen there.I was interested to know if other aspects of supply chain can help out as well, so I reached out to SAP's Solution Manager for warehouse management software Richard Kirker and asked him to come on the podcast to talk about the role of warehouses in this effort. We had a great conversation spanning the role of warehouse software in helping with the current supply chain disruption, the role of automation in this, and how warehousing software helps with sustainability.  I learned loads, I hope you do too...If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Can Warehouses Help With Supply Chain Disruption? A Chat With Richard Kirker

On this episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, I spoke with Richard Kirker. Richard is the Global Solution Lead for Extended Warehouse Management at SAP. Warehouse management is an area I know very little about (as will become quickly obvious as you listen to the podcast), and SAP is announcing an offer related to pop-up warehouses, something I know even less about (!), so I was keen to get Richard on to the podcast to educate me (and hopefully you too!)Richard patiently explained warehouse management to me, as well as the concept of pop-up warehouses, where the concept originated, and how they are more important than ever now that we are in a period of supply chain disruption. SAP's offer in this space will go live in a couple of days, and as soon as it does, I will link to the offer here, so do check back.Richard was a gracious guest, even laughing at my Indiana Jones reference - listen for yourselves, and let me know what you think.Now we are in June, I am trialling a new feature on the podcast - listeners stories. If you have a cool supply chain story you'd like featured on the show, send it to me via email (tom.raftery @ sap.com), or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn. Audio messages will get played (unless you specifically ask me not to).And if you want to know more about any of SAP's Digital Supply Chain solutions, head on over to www.sap.com/digitalsupplychain and if you liked this show, please don't forget to rate and/or review it.
