https://www.sctechshow.com/ At SCTECH 2026, Naveen Chandra, Director of Distribution at EssilorLuxottica, explores how Agentic AI is reaching warehouse floors faster than many operations are prepared. Drawing on deployments across a multi-site distribution network, he introduces two practitioner frameworks from the forthcoming Palgrave Macmillan book Smart Warehousing. ARIF, the Automation Readiness and Impact Framework, offers six steps to assess whether a process is ready for robots and AI agents before committing capital. LOKM, the Labor Orchestration Knowledge Map, provides a control-tower model for coordinating people, robots, and AI agents in real time. Join us at SCTECH 2026 and Learn how readiness, integration, and orchestration can turn pilots into measurable, scalable results. #SCTECH2026 #SmartWarehousing #WarehouseAutomation

https://www.sctechshow.com/ Discover how the Internet of Things can make supply chain sustainability measurable in real time. In this upcoming SCTECH 2026 presentation, Manuel Vexler, Executive Director at AKFI Sustainability Association, will explore how smart logistics, cold chain monitoring, and warehouse energy optimization can reduce waste and improve efficiency. Learn how connected data can strengthen ESG reporting, support more transparent disclosures, and help organizations move from static reports to continuous performance management. With practical examples and implementation insights, this session will show how to integrate IoT into supply chain strategies, address data integration and scalability challenges, and create measurable environmental and operational value. #SCTECH2026 #IoT #Sustainability

https://www.sctechshow.com/ Join Mitesh Verma, Director of Supply Chain Planning Technology & AI Innovation at Ansell Healthcare, at SCTECH 2026 for a look at how AI can help planners move from cognitive gaps to operational agility. Not every supply chain challenge comes with a system recommendation—or a clear explanation. Drawing on five AI applications in production, pilots, and emerging concepts, Mitesh will explore how AI can clarify complex recommendations and help generate decisions when none exist. Through use cases in forecasting, scheduling, supply planning, inventory rebalancing, and S&OE, discover how AI is evolving from making decisions transparent to actively supporting decision-making. #SCTECH2026 #SupplyChainPlanning #ArtificialIntelligence

https://www.sctechshow.com/ In this video, Mihir Patel, Senior Vice President at AlixPartners, previews his upcoming presentation at SCTECH 2026. He’ll explore how local, AI-driven inventory optimization can improve efficiency while quietly weakening resilience when decisions focus only on cost reduction. By examining the tradeoffs between leaner inventory and effective risk mitigation, Patel will show why optimization must account for disruption, uncertainty, and the ability to keep products moving. Join us at SCTECH 2026 to hear how supply chain leaders can use AI thoughtfully—capturing efficiency gains while building stronger, more responsive operations prepared for real-world risks. #SCTECH2026 #SupplyChainResilience #RiskMitigation
