When times are tough, the tough get automation

It’s been a rough few years for the material handling industry.

Demands are high, resources are scarce, and the market is volatile. Warehouse and manufacturing operations that still rely on labor-intensive last-century technology are feeling the pressure of…

Labor shortages

Wages have hit a fever pitch, resignations are on the rise, and the skilled labor pool is shrinking. As cheap labor dries up material handlers are feeling the pinch.

E-Commerce

The “amazon effect” is here to stay. As consumer expectations keep accelerating, warehouses are struggling to keep up.

Reshoring

Just-in-time manufacturing processes are just not working. Far and cheap is becoming slow and expensive. It’s time to bring business back home.

Operations transformation

Decades of underinvestment in technology and innovation have warehouses and manufacturers playing a painful catchup game.

The solution? Automation.
