Robots Deliver Value in Modern Logistics

About the Book

In a world that moves at the speed of consumers and manufacturers, logistics centers have employed robots and sophisticated control systems to perform functions ranging from pick-and-place automation in rack systems to automated guided vehicles that traverse the distribution center floor.

While these systems are designed to deliver accuracy, speed, and traceability for orders, they also supplement a workforce that has not grown as quickly as the logistics industry as a whole.

That’s why deployment of robotic solutions for distribution centers is perhaps more about the strategy than the technology. As this eBook demonstrates, the effective, intelligent use of technology to solve specific problems not only enhances the work but also the human workers, who get value from these solutions.

Check out this eBook to learn how automation and technology are shaping the future of distribution centers and warehouses.
