Mobile warehousing and storage (MW&S) can provide a cost-effective, real-time warehousing solution for many of the complex issues facing U.S. supply chains today.

At a time when warehouses are under intense pressure to process and ship product to demanding customers, how can we keep warehouse workers safe?

As we tackle the global pandemic era of warehouse management, many are starting to question if we require a new breed of manager to navigate our faster-moving environment.
 

As vaccines roll out more broadly, and countries begin to get the coronavirus under control, attention will turn to the recovery and a return to normal operations. The supply chain will play an integral role in this effort, and will itself emerge in a different shape, with COVID-19 leaving a lasting legacy on many areas of transportation and warehousing.

Mobile robots are carving out an increasingly important role in material handling, especially in the era of e-commerce and the coronavirus pandemic.

Early forms of wearable devices have been popular in warehouses and distribution centers for a number of years. But the technology is growing rapidly in sophistication and application.

Only a year ago, the mere mention of a “virus” would have evoked in many people’s minds the image of a sick computer.

Automation was proceeding at a rapid pace in many factories and warehouses before the coronavirus pandemic hit. Now, however, concerns over worker health, the need for social distancing, and the relentless push for cost-cutting are accelerating the progress of robots for order fulfillment.
