Automate X - Automation to gain efficiencies in your warehouse

Typical Robert – his first question to Jordan McFall from Automate-X was about whether robots are going to take all our jobs. Jordan put Robert at ease on this one because robots ARE taking jobs but it the process they’re creating better jobs. The reality is New Zealand is one of the most inefficient countries in the OECD and most warehouses are struggling to find the right staff and retaining them. This isn’t simply a result of keeping up with 24/7 demand but filling roles in places most people don’t want to be – in extreme cold or extreme hot conditions or simply in places where repetitive tasks are required. Automation helps fill this void and in 95% of installations that involve robotics there isn’t any reduction in warehouse jobs. Warehouse Automation today involves advanced and autonomous robots that are there to increase efficiency, reduce errors and increase safety for workers at the same time. This all starts with looking at what’s measurable in a warehouse and by putting manual systems into an automated framework it gives you the ability to make look at the right data, make decisions and make real improvements #AutomateX #KiwiBrandStories #warehouseautomation #warehousemanagement
