When times are tough, the tough get automation
It’s been a rough few years for the material handling industry.
Demands are high, resources are scarce, and the market is volatile. Warehouse and manufacturing operations that still rely on labor-intensive last-century technology are feeling the pressure of…
Labor shortages
Wages have hit a fever pitch, resignations are on the rise, and the skilled labor pool is shrinking. As cheap labor dries up material handlers are feeling the pinch.
Supply chain disruptions
From global conflicts to stuck cargo ships, the supply chain continues to be bludgeoned with no end in sight.
E-Commerce
The “amazon effect” is here to stay. As consumer expectations keep accelerating, warehouses are struggling to keep up.
Reshoring
Just-in-time manufacturing processes are just not working. Far and cheap is becoming slow and expensive. It’s time to bring business back home.
Operations transformation
Decades of underinvestment in technology and innovation have warehouses and manufacturers playing a painful catchup game.
The solution? Automation.
