Several warehouse and logistics companies are working hard to enhance efficiency by simplifying processes, automating operations, and reducing required time and resources.
Warehouses and logistics centers feature a variety of complex and iterative duties that all must be completed simultaneously. While there are many ways to improve productivity, deciding where your efforts will pay off may be challenging. In addition, advances in logistics technology, such as autonomous robots, AI and machine learning solutions, sophisticated warehouse management software, and other technical solutions, substantially influence warehouse productivity.
What do you think you’ll take away from this episode?

First – Deploy accurate dimensioning systems
Accurate assessment of the dimensions of regular and irregular-shaped products helps in fair and credible price fixation. Shipping a truckload or cubing or pellets with exact dimensions in hand can save you considerable time and effort and precise, and transparent measurement reduces unnecessary costs.
Thus transforming dimensioning and weighing systems into profitability drivers it saves money and drives margin and profitability by optimizing shipping and distribution.
Second, optimize packaging
The right package material and dimension for a product will eliminate unnecessary expenses and efforts
Remember, small products don’t need large boxes AI-led dimensioning systems help save cost, time, and effort by precisely determining the material attribute height, width, and weight of a product.
In addition, you can optimize the packaging size and material by customizing the box based on the specification enabling a dimension-backed package analysis that also helps you create a profitable shipping strategy.
Third – building ideal loads
Organizing boxes or loads efficiently on a pallet will be helpful during the operations and pricing process. Using automated package dimensioners, you can easily measure dimensional data for pelletized flight by deploying an ideal or load strategy. As a result, these shipping companies can generate more profit.
Now with these three methods, you can improve your shipping efficiencies and ship items more profitably and that, my dear friends, is the logistics insight for today.
This is Alphonse signing off.
