Context

• Optimising distribution centre operations has become significantly more challenging in recent years. The labour-intensive nature of multi-channel operations, combined with labour shortages and widespread cost inflation has negatively impacted the efficiency of many traditional operations.
   

• Warehouse automation solutions have evolved at a rapid pace and offer an attractive route to reset your cost base. Options range from relatively affordable autonomous mobile robots to large-scale, high cost, full automation systems.  However, with the proliferation of new vendors and technology offerings, determining the best solution for your business has become very challenging.
