Automation in logistics: Big Opportunity, Bigger Uncertainty

Logistic automation refers to the automation of every process in logistics management. It employs several machines and software for carefully operating the logistics operation without human intervention. Automation tracks and records every activity and therefore ensures proper overall logistics management. Logistics automation has brought precision to the entire supply chain processing.

In the logistics industry, logistics automation refers to the use of sophisticated automation technologies and machinery. This program assists in the effective development of logistics activities. The entire network consists of multiple equipment such as automated storage, retrieval systems, vertical lift modules, and automated guided vehicles, software, and services.

The logistics sector has always been ripe for automation, from the first mechanical pallet conveyors to the latest lights-out facility. Today’s most powerful logistics automation solutions may not be found on the warehouse floor, however, but in the cloud. Logistics managers are starting to eliminate operation-wide inefficiencies with automation technologies like Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bots, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) systems, and full hyper-automation platforms that orchestrate end-to-end processes involving both software and human workers.
