October 2021: Thanks to advanced technologies today, warehouse operations seem quite different compared to 20-25 years ago. Yes, there was a time when data monitoring used to be one of the most time-consuming works for warehouse workers.
However, today we have a WMS or warehouse management system, making it easy for warehouse managers to manage day-to-day operations from home efficiently. One can easily monitor multiple warehouse operations with the help of smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
Moreover, in the next few years, we can see warehouses working on their own with the help of fully automated systems. Developing warehouses with modern systems will help to tackle the following challenges,
- Reducing men at work
- Easy stock monitoring
- E-commerce development
- Making fast deliveries
- Reducing the chances of human errors.
The application of WMS or warehouse management system will also reduce labour costs and boost production swiftly. It will also boost the productivity and efficiency of industrial operations.
Modern-day warehouses are also responsible for monitoring various temperature-sensitive goods like dairy and meat processing industries. According to recent research, e-commerce sales also increases the number of consumers rapidly. Still, along with the rapid increase in consumers, warehouse managers have to also deal with an increased number of returns. 20% of online shoppers return their orders which means managing stock becomes even more complex without a well-created warehouse management system.
Smart AI-based technologies like IoT, smartphone integration and machine learning will bring a lot of advantages to manufacturing industries and warehouses. Providing room to digital technologies will help industries in minimizing errors and maximizing profits.
