Session Description

Session Programme

When Safety Meets Big Tech: Collaborative Robots and a Culture of Safety.
Spanning 200,000 square metres, Amazon’s robotics fulfillment centre in Sydney’s western suburb of Kemps Creek is the largest of its kind in Australia. Join the technical tour and see how the retail leader uses collaborative robots and cutting-edge technology to optimise its operations. 
Amazon’s innovative use of technology can be seen at every point of their supply chain; from their use of wearable sensors (protecting their workers from collisions with their robotic workmates) to a company-wide social-media-like reporting system (providing agency and transparency of safety concerns from the bottom-up).
See the fulfilment centre yourself and learn the possibilities of when safety meets big tech.
