Anthony Jules

Most conversations about warehouse automation focus on the technology, but not enough attention is paid to what it takes to make automation actually work in real-world environments. That means dealing with unpredictable environments, legacy systems, and shifting human workflows. In this session, Anthony Jules, CEO of Robust.AI, draws on decades of experience in robotics to explore what it really takes to bring automation into complex warehouse environments. He’ll share practical insights from the field on what makes or breaks successful implementations, ranging from design decisions that support collaborative robots to the organizational changes required for adoption. Additionally, Anthony will discuss the real barriers to automation, the importance of making systems intuitive, and how to think about automation not as a replacement, but as a partner for human workers.
