There’s a controversial statement. After all, it takes a great deal of
intelligence and expertise to create the automation in the first place.
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal suggested the trend of automation “de-skilling” workers rather than
“up-skilling” them was growing even more evident, and is now reaching beyond
just factory and into the white-collar world.
This is very relevant to warehouse fulfillment, since beautifully executed fulfillment and
shipping is a combination of both warehouse automation and the operational
strategic planning behind it. Not
only is successful automation dependent on the implementation, but equally so
on the decision of when and where to use automation.
Some situations are clearly perfect for automation in a
warehouse or in assembly/production work.
However, in many cases a carefully crafted production plan, which blends
manual staging based on repetitive hand motion, coupled with some automation
can pay the same or higher dividends with a great level of flexibility at a
lower cost.
