Join our Automated Warehousing Webinar on 3/03
Learn about the top trends and automation technologies that are reshaping the warehousing and order-fulfillment industries.
In the world of product-based business, nearly all physical goods rely on some form of warehousing before they reach the end user. From raw materials, to intermediate parts, to assembly, to distribution, a vast logistics network is at work moving goods from one place to another in exacting quantities. And most of this work is done manually by people picking, packing, moving and sorting the same items over and over again. This is a massive industry ripe for disruption. And there are a whole host of new automation technologies coming to market that will make this tedious, repetitive work faster, safer, more accurate, and thus more profitable. And with e-commerce growing from 5.1% of all goods sold in 2007 to a projected 25% in 2024 there is a vast opportunity for innovation in an expanding global market.
