About
Alessandro Persona is a leading researcher at the intersection of industrial engineering, logistics, and human-centric automation, with a particular focus on the challenges posed by an ageing workforce. His work critically examines the trade-offs between investing in collaborative robots and adjusting pension schemes to sustain productivity. Persona’s most-cited paper (69 citations) models these multi-echelon decisions, highlighting the economic and social implications of automation in an ageing society. He has also made significant contributions to warehouse system design, investigating the ergonomics and productivity of robotized parts-to-picker systems and manual picking workstations. His research on response latency in global supply chains explores the balance between robotization and globalization, while his recent work addresses the challenges of driverless vehicles in shared workspaces under Industry 5.0. Persona’s studies consistently emphasize the need to integrate ergonomics into supply chain investments, ensuring that technological advances do not compromise worker well-being. With a career spanning foundational logistics models to forward-looking human-robot collaboration, Persona’s research is essential for designing sustainable, efficient, and inclusive production systems.
