WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS

Thanks to developing technology, warehouse operations look a lot different at present than they did 20-25 years ago. Before the 21st century, data entry was a manual process and warehouse workers spent half of their time on paperwork.


However, advancements in technology have helped warehouses evolve. Warehouses are getting smarter as time goes on, accommodating warehouse management systems (WMS), blockchain technology, and state-of-the-art robotics.

Benefits:

  • Reduced labor costs
  • Faster production times
  • Diminished risk of processing errors
  • Increased productivity and efficiency
  • Better management of inventory

Let’s dive into warehousing tech trends, starting with WMS. These softwares automate
warehouse tasks and identify ways to optimize warehouse processes. There have been
a variety of recent WMS improvements, including:

Voice Technology

Machine-to-machine technology

technology Machine learning

Mobile devices

Changes to user interfaces
