Automating a warehouse is a decision not to be taken lightly as it requires a significant capital, labor and time investment. It necessitates a long-term view of where the business is going (or would like to be), so that future supply chain and warehouse strategies align to that vision--and this is where the challenge lies. Underestimate and you might end up with a system that is quickly outgrown. Overestimate and you'll get stuck with expensive automated furniture sitting idle in your distribution center. In this webinar, we will evaluate existing and emerging technologies and provide a longer-term view of where automation technology is headed, so that supply chain professionals can make informed decisions about which automation technologies to invest in for the future.
What you will take away:
Gain an understanding of which automation technology is most likely to be widely adopted, which could be obsolete and which could emerge within the next 5 years.
Know what to look for in warehouse automation technology as it pertains to your business and supply chain needs.
Understand the peripheral technology (e.g. software) will need your investments to ensure that your warehouse is optimized.
