Other trends which the study revealed include accelerated timelines for warehouse modernization projects, and returns management as a top operational challenge.

Modern Materials Handling is proud to release this comprehensive, 21-page report covering the Usage & Implementation of Warehouse/DC Automation Solutions2 based on a recently completed survey of material handling decision makers.

In this Special Digital Edition, the editorial staff of Modern curates the best robotics coverage over the past year to help track the evolution of this hot market.

Decreasing travel time to enable pickers to pick faster and more efficiently.

For managing material handling needs specifically, many manufacturers are deploying Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to improve efficiency and productivity.

Wise is joining Agility Robotics as it works to bring its new version of Digit to market. Wise previously served as vice president and general manager of robotics automation at Zebra Technologies. She is the co-founder and former CEO of Fetch Robotics, which was acquired by Zebra in 2021.

New operating systems and form factors aside, forklift computing gear needs to match conditions and save time for operators.

These have been challenging times for automakers. But from parts management near the line and parts flow right up to it, some new approaches are in the works. Oh, yes, and electric vehicles are already having an impact.

With a theme of “Touch the Future,” ProMat 2023 captured the focus for everyone at the show: what’s next and how can we get ready for it?

Zebra Technologies (Booth S647), an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, is showcasing its new line of environmental sensors at ProMat 2023.

Technology like assistive picking mobile robots, intuitive mobile devices and LMS can help overcome labor management challenges. But it also takes best practices like structured goal setting, in-person communication and employee engagement to be best positioned to maximize labor resources.

Widely used inside the four walls, wireless mobile devices from scanners and printers to tablets are a strong player in facility productivity. Recent advances ensure that they’ll become increasingly valuable to workflows and throughput efficiencies.

While it’s not time to say, “move over bar codes,” newer forms of data capture technology are starting to see use and promise more operational visibility with fewer manually triggered data collection tasks. This range of ADC solutions can help diverse DC fulfillment processes, from tracking goods, to knowing their condition, or gaining insights on cycle times and throughput.

It’s all about inventory and the consumer as retailers struggle to find the right balance of philosophy, operations and technology.
