Don’t rely on marketing shortcuts to grow your business. Instead, build a logistics marketing system for the long term.

Until the dream of a connected home is realized, having robots performing chores in a home could be a long way off. Just take a look at the CES exhibition in Las Vegas (click to view). In a controlled working environment such as a factory, where robots are widely used for automation in production, they are usually programmed to perform tasks with fixed repeatable steps that require only simple decision making processes — limited data and information needed.
