Reimagining Warehouse Operations To Build the Future Supply Chain
Warehouse automation along with advanced
robotics helps create flexible yet robust supply
chains that can keep up with increasing
customer demands.
The global pandemic has facilitated a wide-scale
adoption of e-commerce and online purchasing.
This trend is likely to continue in the post-
pandemic era too, thus having a profound
impact on warehouse operations and fresh
opportunities for innovation.

Intelligent Robotics To Overcome Warehouse Challenges
2Environmental Protection Agency, Green Vehicle Guide, https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/fast-facts-transportation-greenhouse-gas-emissions
Successful transition from traditional to
modern
Robots have come a long way from being used
in repeatable and fixtured applications
traditionally to complex decision-making in
real-time via artificial intelligence (AI) & the
Internet of Things (IoT) to make warehouse
operations more safe, efficient, and cost-
effective.
Why robots?
Robotic Systems provide inherent modularity and
scalability for picking, sorting and palletizing,
organizations of all sizes can reap the benefits of
these innovations while making warehouse
operations more efficient, cost-effective and safe.
The ability to provide solutions with a high return on
investment (ROI) along with manual processes make
robots ideal for investment, now and in future too.

Importance of Warehouse Automation Adoption
For many enterprises, warehouse automation adoption is
lagging significantly or absent altogether.
• DHL research says that 80% of warehouses remain
manually operated.1
• Logistics Management Survey indicates that the
greatest investments to date are in conveyance
(63%), while robotic palletizing and picking are still
very low (15% and 8%, respectively).2
But for enterprises to succeed in the competitive era,
adopting intelligent robotics solutions is the need of the
hour to meet the increasing demand.
