• The Small Bottleneck with a Big Impact: Why Automating Box Opening Could Be the Next Frontier in Warehouse Productivity

  20-10-2026 21:05 via Logistics Viewpoints
  
  When supply chain leaders discuss warehouse automation, the conversation typically centers on high-profile technologies. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), robotic picking, sortation systems, artificial intelligence, and digital twins tend to dominate both investment discussions and industry headlines. Yet some of the most significant productivity opportunities are not found in billion-dollar distribution center transformations. They are hidden in th

• Select Technology for the System, Not the Feature List

  20-10-2026 13:00 via Logistics Viewpoints
  
  Logistics software evaluations are still too often conducted as feature contests. That approach made more sense when applications were relatively self-contained. It makes much less sense when every important platform now sits inside a web of data, decisions, workflows, automation, and AI.
  The traditional feature checklist is not enough. Technology selection increasingly needs a systems engineering lens. The earlier WMS architecture discussion illustrates the principle: feature breadth can be les
