Rick Faulk, Chief Executive Officer
Now that I’ve looked back at 2024 and offered my warehouse automation predictions for 2025, let’s turn to the three areas warehouse leaders should concentrate on to prepare their operations for the future.
Modern supply chains must rapidly adapt to shifting demand, escalating SKU counts, new product lines, and evolving customer expectations. Fixed, monolithic systems can increase density but trap businesses in outdated processes.
However, if density is the primary factor in selecting a warehouse automation system, operators should weigh the tradeoffs between fixed and mobile automation. Fixed automation systems, such as ASRS and Goods-to-Person systems, typically offer higher storage density and optimized space utilization, making them ideal for operations with consistent, high-volume workflows.
In preparing for the future, things to consider include:
Speed remains a critical differentiator in logistics. Customers expect faster delivery, so boosting throughput while maintaining accuracy is essential to staying competitive.
In preparing for the future, things to consider include:
Simple historical data-driven operations will soon become table stakes in modern warehouses. The next wave of intelligence involves advanced analytics, AI, and system-direct actions that learn from real-time conditions and make instant operational tweaks.
