In the past few years, we’ve witnessed a digital transformation taking place in a variety of industrial sectors, and distribution and fulfillment is no exception.

Technology is changing rapidly, and humans need to accept their robot counterparts, and the modern factory must quickly align itself to the cultural change forced upon it by the advances in these technologies.

The material handling industry is in the middle of a historic digital transformation from manual to automated processes in distribution center (DC) and fulfillment operations.

Without taking advantage of the latest technology, supply chains become inefficient and unable to compete, and with higher consumer expectations and demands throughout the supply chain for faster turnarounds, industry requires the improvements that Artificial Intelligence can provide.

In this white paper, we discuss the non-technological trends supply chain managers must know and then will hone in on the technologies that will impact the supply chain in 2018.
