A RightPick system with an ASRS illustrating lights out perform. Supply: RightHand Robotics
Warehouse operators are turning to robotics and automation to fulfill expectations for decrease prices and ever-faster achievement. “Lights-out” services promise full automation, however most of right now’s warehouses and distribution facilities nonetheless depend on handbook processes. A panel dialogue on the 2025 Robotics Summit & Expo will focus on the maturing applied sciences that allow lights-out operations.
This session on “Maximizing the Worth of a Warehouse Via Lights Out Order Achievement” will probably be at 11:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, Might 1, in Room 256 of the Boston Conference and Exhibition Heart. The panelists will even contemplate the roles of selecting techniques, cellular robots, and automatic storage and retrieval techniques (ASRS).
In line with our specialists, end-to-end automation requires a transparent enterprise mannequin, correctly built-in applied sciences, and software program and processes to handle the return on funding (ROI). Attendees can be taught extra concerning the following:
- How warehouses can climate present financial disruptions
- Enabling robots to work with legacy techniques and different equipment
- The place human associates or supervision nonetheless is smart
- How a lot demand there’s for lights-out services
- The position of software program, knowledge, and synthetic intelligence in bettering accuracy and throughput
- How vital are integrators?
Be taught from specialists in lights-out achievement

Previous to forming RightHand Robotics, Dr. Tenzer was a postdoctoral researcher on the Harvard Biorobotics Lab, the place he and his co-founders developed a most well-liked greedy resolution for the DARPA Grand Robotics Problem.
Yaro obtained his Ph.D. in medical robotics from the Imperial School London and holds a M.Sc. in mechatronics and B.Sc. in mechanical engineering from Ben Gurion College.
Ayman Labib is co-founder and CEO of SIMPL Automation. Below his management, SIMPL is remodeling warehouse effectivity by retrofitting goods-to-person (G2P) automation onto present storage techniques—bridging the hole between conventional infrastructure and cutting-edge automation.
With greater than 28 years of expertise in automation, Labib has efficiently led over 80 automation initiatives throughout various industries. As the previous chief know-how officer at Invata Intralogistics, he performed a pivotal position in establishing and main its robotics division, driving greater than $180 million in income development inside simply 4 years.
An entrepreneur at coronary heart, Ayman has based and invested in a number of start-ups, utilizing his mechanical and industrial engineering background to innovate in automation know-how. His experience in system design, robotics, and intralogistics has made him a acknowledged thought chief within the business, constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s potential in warehouse automation.
Mike Keneally is the co-owner of Accutech Packaging, a market chief in outbound packaging gear for the e-commerce and achievement industries. Its totally built-in options embody movie wrapping mailer techniques, autoboxing techniques, and padded mailer techniques. Keneally has been fascinated with the advances in robotics and has collaborated with a lot of firms within the ASRS and robotic selecting area.
Many firms are arising with nice options for merchandise selecting and sorting, however to realize decrease prices and sooner throughput, they need to consider built-in auto bagging and auto boxing.
Accutech affords its e-commerce shoppers the means to supply sustainable, curbside-recyclable packages that enchantment to their customers.
