…to handle these challenges. They buy multi-million dollar conveyor, shuttle and automatic storage and retrieval systems that take up to a year to implement and nearly six years to see return on investment. The only problem? Suppliers without the regular-season volume or space to justify the cost and size of such systems are left out. These smaller operations can’t justify the bolted-down, caged-off systems, which add complexity and cost to warehouse layouts and budgets. A new way to automate Most logistics leaders agree that warehouse automation is a must to remain relevant in today's economy. And now, there’s automation that…

…examples of companies that have tapped solutions like mini-load shuttles, voice picking or goods-to-person robotics to achieve greater speed, labor savings and accuracy. So, why not just install some of that equipment at your DC and wait for similarly dramatic benefits? The short answer, say consultants involved with warehouse automation, is that replicating the path taken at another DC may turn out to be disappointing if the automation installed doesn’t support core goals or match the nuances of your facility’s order profile. “Copying what another facility has done can be the worst way to approach a project because it’s the…
