Le blog de la robotisation logistique à l'ère de la Supply Chain 4.0

In logistics, robotics and new technologies help improve supply chain and warehousing processes. Stock management has benefited greatly from advances in these fields. Management tools include ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), WMS (Warehouse Management System), and WCS (Warehouse Control System). These tools allow you to accurately track the different steps in the supply chain - including order picking, a key factor in customer satisfaction.

Cybercriminals are attacking businesses and individuals alike. Feared in the professional world, cyberattacks can affect an organization's operations in many ways. Malicious computer hacking can lead to theft of sensitive data, paralysis of your business, and reputational damage. While cyber threats affect enterprises of every size, small and medium-sized businesses, which often have fewer resources to allocate to cybersecurity, are the most frequently targeted by hackers.

Faced with the increasing scarcity of land and the new imperatives of e-commerce, the supply chain sector is having to rethink its traditional processes. To deliver as quickly as possible and keep consumers satisfied, being as close as possible to urban centres is becoming a necessity for logistics centres. Some innovative solutions are emerging as a consequence. First among these are multi-level platforms.

Decentralization in the supply chain sector has led to the emergence of small urban distribution centres that manage the preparation of orders as close as possible to the end consumer. We call these hubs “micro-fulfilment centres” (or micro-logistics hubs), or even “nano-fulfilment” in the case of the very smallest. Faced with the previous crisis and the rapid growth of e-commerce, online vendors are increasingly joining this logistics trend in their attempts to get closer to their customers and deliver orders as quickly as possible.
