Abstract
Robotic solutions make real business sense and can help improve workflows. Unexpected events and underlying trends have compelled operations to accelerate their timeline for adopting warehouse robotics, from an opportunity for tomorrow to an essential for today.
Warehouse automation can spare operations the major investment of installing fixed infrastructure, with autonomous navigation technology enabling relatively quick deployment. But implementation still comes with numerous questions, from ROI and safety to IT, integration and planning. As facilities fast-track automated forklifts adoption in response to industry challenges and to position themselves for long-term competitive advantage, careful preparation can smooth the path to successful implementation.
