The warehouse leader of the future will still be accountable for execution. What changes is the scope of that responsibility.

Warehouse automation decisions are often based on assumptions about future volume, labor, SKU mix, workflows, and facility requirements. The challenge is that those assumptions rarely stay fixed over the life of an automation investment.

Transportation costs are climbing, putting pressure on companies to find savings wherever they can. But the most obvious place to look is the transportation budget itself, where an organization can negotiate carrier rates, rebid contracts or shift freight to a cheaper service.

CSCMP and SupplyChainBrain have announced the winner of the 2026 Supply Chain Innovation Award.

For supply chain leaders, preparing for that future starts with understanding the warehouse they already have.

RFID has been promising to transform supply chain and warehouse operations for decades. Now, the technology may finally be living up to that promise.

A robotic picking system can post an impressive pick rate and still leave your team handling too many exceptions. For fulfillment leaders, the real test is how much of your operation’s picking volume it can handle reliably. And whether that performance holds as products, packaging, and demand change.

Only 40% of organizations currently have a strategy in place to manage a combined human-robot workforce.

Great operational gains come through integrating RFID, machine vision and robotics into a coordinated operating model.
