“ Alongside AI, we have been looking into robotics. We believe robotics represents the next big advancement in logistics. Although robotics can be impressive, we approach this technology with caution as few systems currently offer a solid return on investment, so there is still room for improvement. Many robotic solutions are very accurate but tend to be quite slow, which could hinder our operations if we were to implement them. However, they are just reaching a point where certain robotic systems are proving to be worthwhile. We have ordered one such system, a robotics sortation machine, which will be installed next month in two of our warehouses. We anticipate that this system will significantly enhance our productivity, particularly in the direct-to-consumer shipping side of our
operations. For the moment, we remain focused on continuously improving our AI capabilities, all while keeping an eye on advancements in robotics to see how we can effectively integrate this technology into our operations, as it is poised to be the next big step for us,” Bill concludes.
