What You Will Learn

Automation is the buzz word of the day, but how do you know if your operation is ready for, or even needs automation? This seminar will cover areas of value in conventional warehousing that are often overlooked if not forgotten that can create a fluid, flexible operational facility without the fixed constraints (beyond racking) of automation such as conveyor systems bolted to the floor.

Learn about different types of rack solutions beyond conventional single-deep selective rack or floor stacking. From drive-in to drive thru and even push-back rack and more that offer higher storage density with first-in/first-out and first-in/last out availability. These solutions can deliver increased operational efficiency and can even address existing labor constraints.

Finally, this session will help you prepare for the move to automation, identifying potential operational traps to avoid.

Key Takeaways

• Understand ways to improve operations incrementally without automation for increased value
• Identify ways that prepare for automation
• Traps to avoid when thinking about automation
