In Focus | Retail Automation. Are robots taking over the retail industry? Host Karl McKeever sits down with John Toler, CEO of US retailer Plow & Hearth, and Samay Kohli, CEO of warehouse robotics company, GreyOrange to find out.

In the latest episode of our ‘In Focus’ series, we examine why forward-looking leaders are investing in intelligent automation; and the challenges and opportunities presented by robotics.
Presented by GreyOrange.
