But this has opened the door to warehousing and distribution facilities embracing new approaches to managing their responsibilities. One survey of private sector warehouse workers has found that 92% believe using technology will make the warehouse environment more attractive, while 83% expect the software applications and hardware devices used in warehouses should be as easy to use as their personal smartphones.

 

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss the evolution of warehousing, both as its own discipline and as part of the global supply chain, and the role that automation technology plays in streamlining operations and cutting costs.

 

We’ll Discuss:

  • Identify the workflow elements that comprise receiving and shipping materials, and the tools being used to track them.
  • Delineate areas where automation technology can be used to accelerate the flow of goods into and out of warehouse facilities.
  • Define metrics that can be used to measure performance improvement.
