In this episode, Lauren Parker, director of SJ and Fairchild Studios, dives into SJ’s “Logistics Report: The Technology Issue” with SJ logistics editor Glenn Taylor and business editor Meghan Hall to explore what’s now, what’s next, and what it all means for the industry.
They discuss everything from transportation logistics to drones to autonomous robots to Walmart and Target’s last-mile arms race.
