How Mobility and AIDC Are Reshaping Warehouse Execution
Mike Allen, AIM Global
|
|
Warehouses and distribution centers are being asked to move faster, maintain tighter inventory control, improve worker productivity, and respond to disruptions in real time. Meeting those expectations requires more than additional automation. It requires accurate, trusted data from the warehouse floor.
I am pleased to be discussing this more as part of Modern Material Handling’s Automating the Warehouse Virtual Summit on July 30th. During the session, “How Mobility and AIDC Are Reshaping Warehouse Execution,” I explore how automatic identification and data capture technologies are connecting physical warehouse activity with the digital systems that manage it.
