Mark Hasler, consulting alliance director for North America with AutoStore, explains why an explosion in product variations has posed new challenges for retailers, distributors and warehouses.

There’s a point when just throwing more robots at a problem delivers diminishing returns. It also gets expensive quickly.

Documents reviewed by The New York Times also spoke of avoiding terms such as "automation" and "AI" in favor of "advanced technology" and "cobot."

When it comes to innovations in warehouse technology, “state of the art” is a constantly moving target.

Digital transformations don’t happen overnight. The key question for manufacturers is how to digitize operations effectively.

Autonomous robots designed to augment humans and adapt to operational shifts are helping companies make the pivot away from rigid, capital-intensive systems.

The shift from longer-term storage and distribution of cases and pallets to the continuous flow of deconsolidated, repacked and cross-docked eaches has significantly impacted both the workplace and workflow.

Maximizing warehouse efficiency is about more than acquiring shiny new automation systems.

Locus Robotics provided the DSV team with the flexible, cost-effective technology that they sought; one that could scale during retail peak seasons, integrate seamlessly with existing workflows, and maximize throughput.
