Kevin chats with Wesley Parkin of Qimarox and Steve Castle of Autoquip in this episode of The New Warehouse Podcast, recorded live from ProMat 2025. Representing MHI’s Conveyor and Sortation Solutions (CSS) Industry Group, Wesley and Steve unpack key challenges and emerging solutions in material handling, especially when it comes to moving Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) between facility levels.
The conversation dives deep into the CSS Group’s collaborative efforts, the growing need for smarter vertical movement, and how manufacturers and integrators are adapting traditional VRCs (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors) to meet the precision demands of modern automation.
