SUMMARY:
Will Jenkins sits down with Lars Ward, VP of Automation Solutions at Transflo, to cut through the AI noise. They talk about what’s actually working today, where automation is driving real results, and why it’s time to stop chasing buzzwords and start solving real problems. Lars brings hard-won insights from across the logistics world, and makes the case for smarter, simpler tech that works now.
