80% of warehouses have no automation in place. But events of recent years have placed even more importance on supply chains, delivery certainty and inventory management being key.

There is a greater need for operations to use innovative technology to drive efficiencies and support rising labour shortages. As the shift to e-commerce increases, warehouse operations need to process goods faster and more accurately. Robotic technology works alongside the workforce, taking on labour-intensive tasks so colleagues can focus on data-led interpretation and decision-making.
