If you’ve outgrown the capacity of your warehouse, you may think the only option is building a new one. But that’s not necessarily the case. The latest generation of robotic and data-driven automation systems can significantly increase the capacity of brownfield facilities at a fraction of the cost of a new build. Plus, their modular design allows them to be installed in phases, enabling the facility to continue to serve customers throughout the installation.

This new Swisslog webinar will review some of the leading automation solutions for pallet handling and each picking and their facility requirements to help you determine whether your facility can support automation. It will also present real-world examples of installation plans that minimize disruptions to operations.
