Agenda
• Why are we having this webinar?
• Current trends in the industry– Dense population
– Eliminating the middle man (compression of the supply chain)
– On-demand delivery
• Different types of vertical transportation– Typical (VRC, continuous, spiral, etc.)
– Where vertical lifts are used in current applications
– Non-typical (robotic, air tube, drone, etc.)
• Application need
