Today's warehouses increasingly rely on a variety of discrete software and hardware systems to meet customer demands for speed and efficiency. Earlier this year, SnapFulfil's Chief Commercial Officer, Brian Kirst, spoke with SupplyChainBrain at MODEX about the key to integrating these pieces by adopting new, more accessible hardware and robust software solutions. Autonomous mobile robots and human-assistance systems are popular hardware choices, while software focuses on the orchestration and integration of multiple systems to ensure seamless operations even when one component is down.
Kirst highlights the importance of scalable systems that can adapt to shifting market demands, addressing some warehouses' reluctance to commit to automation. Effective orchestration requires collaboration with integrators to identify and tackle unique challenges, making logistics systems highly adaptable. In an era where diverse technologies must work together smoothly, orchestration stands out as a crucial trend in warehouse technology.
