In this #12th edition, we explore the AI-Powered Autonomous Parcel Journey - from Depot to Doorstep. Together, we’ll trace how a fully automated last-mile delivery system comes to life: AI-driven route design and agentic dispatching by Bettermile’s Better Planner, Neolix’s autonomous delivery vehicles handling the final stretch, and intelligent warehouse automation powered by Flink’s Robotics.
Our goal is to reveal the reality behind the hype with real-world use cases, technical challenges, and lessons learned from implementation. Expect honest conversations, live demonstrations, and a comprehensive overview of how automation and intelligence are reshaping parcel logistics and the future of last-mile delivery.
