Get A Grip S2 E07 Fashion Meets Fulfillment: Automating Apparel Induction the Smart Way

Описание: In this episode of Get a Grip, host Jose Hotema is joined by Chris Caldwell (Yaskawa) and Nick Herbon (Eurosort) to tackle one of the most persistent challenges in fulfillment: automating apparel induction at scale.

From polybagged garments and barcode readability to sorter performance and robot deployment timelines, this conversation breaks down why apparel has historically been difficult to automate—and why that’s rapidly changing. The group explores how modern vision-guided robotics, smart sorter accessories, and thoughtful system design are enabling faster throughput, higher uptime, and more resilient operations in both greenfield and brownfield facilities.
