One indisputable fact exists for most
manufacturers and distributors: warehouse
automation stands as one of the last areas
where long-term costs can be significantly
reduced. In addition to providing long-term
benefits that generate additional cost savings,
warehouse automation technology, specifically
the combination of an AS/RS and WES, can help
manufacturers and distributors:
• keep products fresh
• prevent recalls
• enable compliance with industry regulations
• protect consumers
