warehouse automation is at the heart of business continuity

With many different technologies available, automating warehouse operations can quickly become a potentially overwhelming prospect. This can lead businesses to stall their projects or even over-automate, adding unnecessary complexity and cost.

Rather than taking a 'rip and replace' approach, companies must apply automation to the warehouse in a practical way. Firstly, this means focusing on the low-hanging fruit. These are the easiest or most impactful opportunities for automation to benefit the business when considering its unique objectives.

In difficult financial circumstances, such as the ones we find ourselves in now, businesses need to assess their spending carefully. Warehouse automation is a sizable initial investment. However, the advantages always should by far exceed the costs – particularly when considering the long-term expense of inefficient operations.

Where an automated loading system is concerned, it is important to keep in mind that an investment normally leads to a return within three years.

Automation is not a silver bullet in the face of recession, but it will lead to a number of instant operational improvements. Significantly, it will also help future-proof the business against any other challenges around the corner due to the flexibility and agility it adds to operations.
