Inside the state of warehouse automation
By Steve Crowe, December 8, 2023
WEB The Robotics Summit session on The State of Warehouse Automation will look at currently.
On the show today we hear a replay of the State of Warehouse Automation Panel from the 2024 Robotics Summit this. An esteemed panel moderated by Eugene Demaitre the discussion featured Tim Tetzlaff vice. president of business development for inVia Robotics, and Rick Faulk VP of global marketing and strategy for Locus Robotics. The supply chain management industry is currently experiencing a flywheel effect. The need for efficiency is driving innovation, which in turn is creating new opportunities for growth. This is especially evident in the area of warehouse automation, where new technologies are emerging to help businesses streamline their operations and improve their bottom line. One of the most important trends in warehouse automation is the increasing adoption of robotics. Robots can be used to perform a variety of tasks, such as picking and packing orders, moving inventory, and loading and unloading trucks. This can free up human workers to focus on more value-added activities, such as customer service and quality control. Another important trend is the growth of cloud-based warehouse management systems (WMS). These systems can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, which gives businesses the ability to manage their warehouses remotely. This can be a major advantage for businesses with multiple locations or that operate in multiple countries. The combination of robotics and cloud-based WMS is creating new opportunities for businesses to improve their warehouse operations. By leveraging these technologies, businesses can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and gain a competitive advantage. In conclusion, the state of warehouse automation is rapidly evolving. New technologies are emerging all the time, and businesses are increasingly adopting these technologies to improve their operations. As the industry continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovation and growth in the years to come.
