Digital Transformation (DT) keep evolving for each sector and industry. As product storage, sorting and replenishment methods continue to evolve, food and beverage warehouses are embracing four technology trends.The food and beverage industry is evolving constantly, especially from the standpoint of customer demand, warehousing and technology
Whether managers are looking to improve quality control, replenish items on store shelves more efficiently or increase the speed of product sorting, they must be aware of five key trends, each of which relate to technology that will influence their warehouse operations into the future.
productivity and create an environment suited to the following technology trends.
Flow-through sortation
To ensure food and beverage inventory is brought into a distribution center, staged, sorted and then sequenced for quicker replenishment.The systems use automatic vehicles, along with robotic, to provide flexibility, modularity and scalability as operators transport cases.
The benefits to flow-through are immense from less product handling and greater quality control, to having a longer shelf life and reducing inventory on-hand, thereby freeing up capital for other needs.
Adaptability and flexibility in equipment innovations
Food and beverage equipment and solutions are trending toward more adaptable and flexible features and functionalities. By purchasing and using flexible equipment, operations will not only be able to maintain their current production pace, but also prepare for future evolution’s within the industry, particularly in regard to technology, product delivery and packaging as a whole.
Voice technology’s new era
Food and beverage warehouses are realizing the primary benefits of voice technology—that it can be measured quantitatively to reduce the costs of each line-item transaction, while also increasing picking accuracy considerably.
The expansion and evolution of WMS continues
Not only food and beverage warehouse operations rolling out Warehouse Management System WMS solution throughout warehousing divisions, they’re also leveraging these solutions across remaining operational footprints has evolved to help them achieve these goals, particularly by accommodating diverse customer and product-specific requirements across distribution, manufacturing and supply/overflow warehouses. WMS solution, companies are noticing less redundancy and better results as they focus on assimilating their operations into standards that are accepted throughout the world.
