Technology and Innovation
It has now been 60 years since the opening of the first “automated” high bay warehouse (HBW). Since then, thousands of HBWs and other automated warehouses have been built and some of them have been going for decades. After years of operation, though, very few systems still exist in the same format as they were installed. Steel components may be sturdy, but IT and control elements, as well as mechatronics, must be regularly updated. And when product ranges, volumes or customer demands change, modernization and expansion become necessary.
Supply Chain Trends
To keep disruption, downtime and TCO to a minimum, warehouse operators need to have a clear process in place to handle downtime and to ensure that any issues will be taken care of in an effective and timely manner. A service agreement helps but finding the right one is no easy task.
