The Cross-Floor Movement problem
Why these workflows often hide in plain sight, and where people are spending time moving material instead of higher-value work.
Live Webinar• November 12, 2026 • 11:00 AM PST / 2:00 PM EST
From Cross-Floor Movement
to Practical Autonomy
How to identify, evaluate, and automate material movement without redesigning your operation.
Manufacturing plants and warehouses depend on constant material movement, but that doesn’t mean people need to spend their time driving it.
See how Madix automated cross-floor movement in a 1M+ sq. ft. facility, cutting daily trips by 36% and achieving payback in 10.7 months.

Why Attend
What you’ll walk
away with
Material movement between production areas is necessary. Dedicating people to repetitive transportation may not be.
→How to recognize cross-floor movement workflows that may be strong automation candidates
→How to evaluate the workflow before selecting technology
→How one manufacturer introduced autonomous material movement into an existing brownfield environment
→What Madix learned from deploying one VGV across five operator-controlled call stations
→How operator interaction can remain part of autonomous workflows
→What measurable results Madix achieved
→What practical autonomy looks like during a live workflow demonstration
→How to evaluate a similar opportunity in your facility

What We’ll Cover
›Key topics‹
How to recognize an automation candidate
Repetition, distance, frequency, dedicated labor, and facility conditions that signal a strong fit.
Map the workflow before you automate
Origin → trigger → load → movement → destination → next action, understand it before you automate it.

Agenda
Format & flow
50 minutes + Q&A. Timing is flexible so the conversation can focus on what matters.
The Cross-Floor Movement problem
Why these workflows often hide in plain sight, and where people are spending time moving material instead of higher-value work.
How to recognize an automation candidate
Repetition, distance, frequency, labor, and facility conditions, tied directly to the Cross-Floor Movement Assessment.
Before you automate: map the workflow
Origin → trigger → load → movement → destination → next action.
Customer spotlight: inside the Madix deployment
From manual movement to everyday autonomy, the original workflow, evaluation, deployment, and results.
Live demonstration
See the workflow in action, how people, floor-level devices, software, and the vehicle interact.
Audience Q&A
Ask Anantak + Madix, open floor for attendee questions.
Live Demonstration
›See cross-floor movement in action‹
A cross-floor workflow showing how an operator requests and receives autonomous material movement, and how people, software, and the vehicle work together.
