Technological Innovations

• Robotics and Automation
• The digital worker
• Artificial Intelligence in Inventory Management

Automation gets the attention, but it is the smaller part of what technology does in a warehouse. Most sites across Australia and New Zealand run largely manual processes today, and will still be largely manual in five years — automated in the zones where the volume justifies it, hand-worked everywhere else.

The role of technology in those operations is exactly what it is in an automated one: take the uncertainty out of the work. Tell the operator what to do next, and why it is next. Confirm it was done, at the moment it was done. Capture it once, in one place, so nobody reconciles it later. RF scanning, voice, pick-to-light, mobile devices, weight and dimension checks, print-and-apply, live dashboards, carrier and customer integration — all of it serves that end, and all of it earns its keep in accuracy, traceability, training time and labour flexibility long before it shows up as speed. A person with a scanner and a shuttle aisle are both executing tasks the WMS created. That is what lets an operation change the mix between them without changing the system that runs it.

By embracing these innovations, businesses can stay competitive in an ever-evolving market.
