Show notes

This episode explores how Nomagic is applying AI and robotics to warehouse operations, with a focus on each picking, recovery workflows, and production-grade deployment. Josh Cloer, General Manager for North America, explains why the company leans into “physical AI,” how its systems are designed for always on operations, and why real-world production data matters more than simulation alone. Mike Oitzman and Gene Demaitre also dig into the practical side of automation adoption, from pilot-to-production failures to the pressure on supply chain leaders to move faster without getting stuck in vendor hype. The conversation is especially useful for teams evaluating warehouse robotics, AI-assisted recovery, or flexible automation strategies. Learn more: https://nomagic.ai/
