I had the opportunity to attend
Material Handling Exhibition organized
by Messe Frankfurt in Dubai this
month. I was indeed impressed to
note a significant advancement of
technology, equipment, racking systems
and robots that help build a safe,
efficient and qualitative operations
within warehouses. It was a pleasure
to see expert solutions from leading
organizations like Span, SSi Schaefer,
Loc 8, Twintec, Grey Orange, Swisslog,
Genavco, Eternity and Daifuku which
can truly help in bringing excellence and
safety for warehouses in this region. I
must say that there is a growing need of
bringing more safety and excellence for
warehouse operations across industry
in region.
On another note, announcement of
massive Mars prototype city to be built
in Dubai is aimed at doing simulation of
life at Mars. This city as well will address
challenges pertaining to security of
food, water, energy and agriculture for
this planet Earth. This announcement
of building Mars City in Dubai could be
yet another giant step for mankind and
humanity.
