Understanding one's constraints and business needs is the first step to building a case for beginning the automation journey, says Lori Gibson, director of consulting services at Johnson Stephens Consulting.

What is a "smart" warehouse? And is it here already, or a vision of the future? Dan Gilmore, chief marketing officer of Softeon, has answers.

It’s highly likely that warehouses will more actively embrace automation technologies in 2023 to manage tight labor markets, increase inventory capacity and expand visibility into their supply chain operations. 

As more supply chains are increasingly driven by technology, many organizations are investigating the benefits of an automated warehouse. 

The bigger a manufacturer, retailer or distributor gets, the more it needs to augment its network of warehouses.

Heightened customer expectation, constrained resources and generational differences in purchasing are among the changes in the supply chain that companies must respond to, says Wonil Gregg, vice president of customer engagement at DCPerform.

It’s easy for organizations to take their warehouse operations for granted, often overlooking the functional importance of warehouses and their direct impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Brain Corp has launched a new software platform for commercial robotics. 

Automation is no longer a competitive advantage but a competitive imperative, if warehouse operators and distributors are to succeed, says Al Dekin, chief revenue officer and founder of Locus Robotics.
