In conventional supply chain management, the warehouse associates perform all warehouse activities right from stocking the in-house warehouse products to parcelling them inside the boxes.

Whereas in the digital method, you adopt modern technologies like automated parcel dimensioning systems, autonomous mobile robots and guided vehicles in the workplace to shrink manual efforts.

But How Can Supply Chain Automation Add Value To All Size Warehouses?

Before bringing in the automation, it’s a good idea to figure out which places you’d like to improve first.

So let us focus on the top three areas where supply chain automation can highly benefit.

Number 1. Workplace safety

Ensuring safety in the workplace is the one pivotal part we need to address immediately.

By integrating automation, we can reduce human injuries and engage employees in performing other warehouse operations efficiently.

Number 2. Increasing efficiency

Automation isn’t always meant to replace manual labour, but we can shove warehouse productivity with the appropriate technology.

In the wake of this, we can use automation for various iterative and complex tasks, where the warehouse personnel spend more time to complete the tasks at the different steps of the order fulfilment process.

The last is Cost reduction

In most warehouse and distribution centres, several employees perform similar tasks at different shift bases every day;

by installing suitable automation, we can promptly cut down the iterated manual works and push the warehouse potency effectively.
