Warehouse Automation

Improving Efficiency, Speed, Reliability, Accuracy & Costs

Warehouse automation is widely touted as perhaps the most effective way to boost return on investment (ROI) – reducing labour, enhancing accuracy and improving efficiency.

Complete warehouse automation entails automating a variety of elements, from software systems and storage & retrieval methods to pick, pack and despatch operations.

Challenges Driving Warehouse Automation

The increasing complexity of operations and rising labour shortages are perhaps the two biggest challenges affecting logistics operations.

Complexity issues range from the sheer volume of SKUs through to omni-channel retailing which require small order picking and substantial reverse logistics operations to accommodate the rise in returns.

Driven by ecommerce, the ever-changing shape of retail continues to have an impact on the need for logistics fulfilment operations and distribution centres to have small order pick and pack capabilities.

Finding people to work in warehouse operations is not going to get any easier in the foreseeable future. On top of this, ever more stringent health and safety laws regarding matters such as weight lifting limitations on human operators, put pressure on the jobs people can perform in the future
