From the Floor at WERC Conference 2025: What Works (and What Doesn’t) in Warehouse Automation
In this special edition of our video series from WERC Conference 2025 in New Orleans, Redwood’s Mark Lewis sits down with longtime colleague and warehousing expert Norm Saenz of St. Onge Company to break down a hot topic in the logistics world: warehouse automation.
Norm shares insights from his recent roundtable, “Automation: What Works and What Doesn’t”, including the key risks logistics leaders face when implementing automation, like poor data quality, lack of testing, weak ROI planning, and underestimating maintenance costs.
This conversation is packed with real-world lessons, not just theory—from success stories to a cautionary tale of a full system teardown due to peak-volume miscalculations.
If you’re evaluating automation for your warehouse, this is five minutes well spent.
