What’s next for pallet automation, and what should you hold onto?
In The Big Pallet Debate, we sit down with James Sharples, Swisslog’s Head of Global Commercial Strategy, to unpack the technologies, trade-offs, and tensions shaping today’s pallet handling systems. Drawing on hands-on experience from the customer side of the industry, James challenges common assumptions and shares a candid view on everything from double-deep storage to the rise of AMRs.
