It was difficult to choose between all the leading journalists reporting on the critical roles robots perform in the supply chain.”
The award acknowledges the top journalists in the materials handling industry who have reported on the vital roles robots play in today’s factories and distribution centers. The journalists will be recognized on April 5th, at the SkyLounge in the Glenn Hotel, Atlanta, GA.
