LM: Considering all of the innovation and automation solutions available to us, are there any tried-and-true pieces of equipment, software, or automation that continue to be overlooked as a solution to today’s pressing challenges?
Saenz: The tried and true remains stepping up from a manual/paper-based operation to a mechanized facility using state of the art warehouse management systems (WMS) and labor management systems (LMS) software. These technologies continue to develop and make big differences in an operation.
If you’re already there, with a well-run mechanized facility, then it’s time to look at the viable goods to person technology on the market. These various technologies, such as AMRs, autonomous lift trucks, shuttles and more are becoming more competitive in terms of pricing.
