Warehouse automation tools take into account the significance of eliminating dependencies between robots and people. By decoupling the tasks performed by each labor resource or removing the direct handoffs, automation systems have transitioned away from waiting on a person to creating buffers between machine and manual labor.
According to a report by acumenresearchandconsulting.com, the global warehouse automation market was valued at $18.93bn in 2021 and is expected to reach $64.63bn by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.8 percent during the period. This unprecedented growth can be attributed to the flourishing ecommerce sector, surging applications of IoT, and rising adoption of robotics in warehousing.
Technologies such as autonomous mobile robots that help grab, sort, and pick items from the warehouse floor have made warehouse automation the ideal replacement for the labor-intensive processes in the industry today. Mechanized warehouse automation leverages robotic equipment and systems that assist workers with manual warehouse tasks and procedures. At the same time, aerial drones are also being used for automating various warehouse processes, such as inventory audits, cycle counting, and buffer stock maintenance. These warehouse automation tools help drive efficiency, increase safety, and reduce the burden on in-house staff, freeing them to focus on other high-value activities.
