Say goodbye to long travel distances and hello to improved productivity with our guide to reducing warehouse travel.

Gamification is helping warehouse operators maintain an engaged and healthy workforce.

New Lucas Systems market study finds game mechanics can drive employee engagement.

The research is focused on developing new and innovative ways to reduce distribution center and transportation waste by optimizing the way packing and packaging of multiple items in a single order is executed.

The push is on to get to the next level of productivity and workflow efficiency with automatic data capture technologies.

With a voice-directed picking solution, Baptist Health South Florida gained big on throughput and accuracy, while offering workers an intuitive user interface.

Warehouse execution system software got its start by helping DC operations to balance the flow of work across various automated systems, with only WMS and WCS software in place to help. WES is breaking ground again, with solution providers talking about orchestration with labor resources, which stands to broaden its appeal.

Download our e-book to learn the four critical elements warehouse and DC operators need as part of their strategic plan to capture and retain the warehouse workforce of the future.

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.

In this white paper, we explore each of these topics and deliver strategies employers can implement to build these learnings into actions to attract, retain and engage on-floor warehouse workers.

Lucas Systems' new ‘Voice of the Warehouse Worker’ study found that nearly 3 out of 4 (74%) on-floor workers said they would consider a pay cut at another company for an opportunity to use technology if it helps them in their job.

Building on faster, more robust communications networks, wireless devices from handheld terminals to autonomous mobile robots are on a path to increasing operational efficiencies, regardless of workforce challenges.

Automatic data capture just got a new ally, the edge. The technology allows everything from scanners to voice systems to process data on the edge of where it is collected. The result is real-time decisions that deal with reality, not some plan that no longer applies.

With the new technology, the distributor increased productivity by 15%.
