Challenges Driving Warehouse Automation
The increasing complexity of logistics operations and rising labor shortages pose significant challenges. Factors include the vast array of products, omni-channel retailing requiring small order picking, and increased reverse logistics due to rising returns. eCommerce further drives the need for efficient fulfilment centers with small order pick and pack capabilities. Additionally, finding warehouse workers will remain difficult, compounded by stricter health and safety regulations limiting manual tasks.
