Optimizing Business with AI and Data
1wThis is awesome. Just watched an interview on X with Peggy Johnson, CEO of Agility Robotics and quickly became a fan. She has both a pragmatic way about her but clearly has the big picture in mind. One thing she touted was how Digit (Agility's robot) benefits from business data specific the customer's facility that helps train AI models to learn new skills. She emphasized that the robots use "conventional methods" to navigate within a localized area instead of using AI. I noticed some QR codes on the floor which tells me that Digit requires a semi-structured environment to operate. While pragmatic, Ms. Johnson also has a firm grasp of the big picture, expressing that AI should be regulated because of their proximity to humans, and that humans should always be "top of mind" . GXO Logistics, Inc. appears to be in good hands with Agility. I have so many questions, though.. is an hourly wage paid to Agility? Are the robots rented? Purchased? Is the cost meter still running when idle? What about labor optimization? Can two robots work in the same area? Can one turn off when demand is low (thus reducing costs)? These are exciting times for warehouse labor optimization!!
