So You Want To Automate

This eBook explains how warehouse automation technology - an AS/RS and WES – allows companies to improve overall efficiency, meet growing customer demand, raise productivity, lower risks, boost throughput and increase inventory accuracy.

One indisputable fact exists for most manufacturers and distributors: warehouse automation stands as one of the last areas where long-term costs can be significantly reduced.

An automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) takes the complexity created by growth and increased SKUs out of the hands of the manual warehouse processes and puts it into the industries mature machines and software delivered by the AS/RS integrator.

In addition to providing long-term benefits that generate additional cost savings, warehouse automation technology, specifically the combination of an AS/RS and a warehouse execution system (WES), can help manufacturers and distributors: 
 

  • keep products fresh
  • prevent recalls
  • enable compliance with industry regulation
  • and protect consumers
     

If you are searching for new, strategic ways to obtain a competitive edge, operate more efficiently, improve customer satisfaction, and cut costs, one of the most promising solutions today is warehouse automation technology.
