At the 2025 Warehousing Education and Research Council (WERC) conference in New Orleans, Kevin sat down with two leaders shaping the warehouse automation conversation: Chris Lingamfelter, founder of Robot Advisors, and Tim Barrett, President of Barrett Distribution Centers.
The discussion followed their standing-room-only session, “To Bot or Not,” which explored robotics adoption, ROI, and what the future warehouse workforce might look like.
