As warehouses begin to optimize the supply chain and reduce fulfillment costs with emerging technologies, some businesses are considering the switch to an automated warehouse. McCarter partner Ron Leibman shared that the number-one factor that businesses should consider when moving to an automated warehouse is “system capability.”
He said, “It is imperative that when choosing automated solutions companies perform significant due diligence to develop historical data on system downtime…as well as system redundancy to help avoid breakdowns and supplier-workaround plans in the event of whole or partial system failure. But in the end, assuming cost effectiveness—it’s largely about system capability.”
