We could all use a pick me up on Friday after a long week in the office, so we decided to start our weekly blog #FuzzyFriday and you’re invited!
Each Friday we will post an article, video or similar about something that relates to the Logistics, Warehouse, Automation and Process industry. For instance, we may write an article describing the pitfalls when testing an automated system or maybe one in which we highlight the technological advances of a system integrator. The topics list we have already compiled is extensive but we are always looking for fresh ideas, so any suggestions are more than welcome.
If you would like a Friday Fix, sign up below and we’ll let you know as soon as we post our Fuzzy Friday. Oh, and use the hashtag #FuzzyFriday to mark anything you find interesting that we should investigate.
