Physical AI and autonomous logistics are converging into continuous, selfoptimising operations from the production line to lastmile delivery—this session asks where autonomy is truly delivering resilience, efficiency, and sustainability, and where legacy systems still hold the reins

• Are AI, IoT, and automation really creating autonomous, selfcorrecting operations endtoend—or just putting a digital veneer on old workflows?
• Are automated picking, blockchain, predictive planning, and smart sensors genuinely scaling to slash downtime by 50% and costs by 40%—or are most deployments still stuck in pilot mode?
• Can intelligent logistics and autonomous factories truly deliver greener, more resilient lastmile and shopfloor performance—or do legacy networks, infrastructure, and mindsets still set the ceiling?
• Will AR/VR and cobots actually elevate frontline workers into highervalue strategic roles—or does “autonomy” risk becoming a justification for silent workforce reduction?
• The ROI roadmap: Where to deploy AI for maximum return and the frameworks to prove it
