What does intelligent warehouse mean for the future of your supply chain?

According to research, 70% of organizations plan to increase the use of warehouse technology in the next few years. In fact, retailers are expected to spend $2.5 billion on updated IOT hardware and installation. But what is intelligent warehouse and what does it mean for the future of your supply chain?

Intelligent warehouse is an inventory system that can automate part or all of the inventory process. Interconnection technology works together to simplify warehouse operation and improve productivity and efficiency. Intelligent warehouse uses artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IOT) to connect each warehouse process. This helps automate tasks, merge information and analyze data to improve operations.

What are the benefits of intelligent warehouse?

Intelligent warehouse simplifies the process of inventory, storage, inventory, labeling and packaging. Warehousing is the first step in the transportation and logistics supply chain. If you can use intelligent technology to optimize these operations from the beginning, you will be able to better simplify the rest of the transportation process, such as loading, transportation, unloading and delivery.

Reduce the need for labor

Reduce human error

Reduce damage and inaccuracy

Improve the visibility and transparency of the inventory process

Improve speed and accuracy

Enhance analysis, reporting and strategy development

Because of these benefits, many enterprises have begun to implement many intelligent warehouse technologies. Although this technology is still new and developing, the warehouse is moving in a more intelligent direction. Amazon has automatic picking and storage robots, while UPS uses smart glasses to reduce labels. If you don't jump on the "smart" warehouse train, you will be covered with dust.
