Episode 98 | Flexible Robots Transform Warehouse Strategy | Andy Williams

In this episode I sit down with Andy Williams, EVP Sales – North America at Exotec, to unpack how a single “mobile AS/RS” platform is helping retailers, 3PLs and grocers keep pace with labor shortages and same-day delivery promises.
We cover:

  • Why Exotec’s Skypod robots store, climb and travel like no other goods-to-person system.

  • The shift from legacy conveyor projects to agile, software-defined warehouses.

  • What “mobile AS/RS” really means for densification, throughput and expansion.

  • Andy’s lessons on selling eight-figure automation to Fortune-500 operators.

  • Where AI vision and data will push fulfilment over the next five years.
