After a packed run of podcast releases covering some of the biggest topics in logistics, warehousing and supply chain technology, Logistics Business Conversations will be taking a short two-week break before returning on the 6th of July with a series of special episodes recorded live at Multimodal 2026 at the NEC in Birmingham.
Recent episodes have explored a wide range of challenges and opportunities facing logistics professionals today. Listeners have heard from Mike Morgan of OPEX on how warehouse automation continues to evolve through the integration of AI and robotics, while Jamie Spencer of Ocado examined how flexible fulfilment strategies, digital twins and autonomous mobile robots are helping businesses adapt to changing customer demands.
The series has also tackled critical technology and infrastructure topics. Smitha Rafael discussed the rise of hybrid warehouse management systems and why businesses are increasingly looking beyond cloud-only architectures to improve resilience and reduce downtime risks. Meanwhile, Gerry Daalhuisen of Transporeon highlighted why the yard remains one of logistics’ biggest blind spots, explaining how better visibility and digitisation can unlock significant efficiency gains.
Other recent conversations have examined high-throughput fulfilment with AutoStore, future-ready delivery networks with Descartes, the impact of rising energy costs on logistics operations, and how technologies such as LiDAR are improving warehouse safety and operational performance. These discussions have combined practical advice with real-world examples from some of the industry’s leading technology providers and operators.
The upcoming Multimodal episodes will continue this focus, bringing listeners exclusive interviews recorded at one of the UK’s premier logistics and supply chain events. Featuring conversations with exhibitors, solution providers and industry experts, the series will provide fresh insight into the trends, technologies and strategies shaping the future of logistics.
While the podcast takes this brief pause, now is the perfect opportunity to catch up on any episodes you may have missed. Whether you’re interested in automation, artificial intelligence, fulfilment, warehouse management systems, sustainability, transport optimisation or broader supply chain strategy, the Logistics Business Conversations archive offers a wealth of expert insight and practical takeaways.
