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

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.

Warehouse is a significant undertaking with a big impact in terms of business strategy. It requires a complete rethink of its logistics flows and its entire supply chain, from manufacturing to end consumer. But automation allows us to adapt to new realities such as the e-commerce boom and the rise of omnichannel. So, what’s the most reliable method of calculating the Return On Investment (ROI) of such a project? Read on for our answers.

Good news! Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have come to realize that adopting new technologies can bring them considerable benefits. For the SME, these benefits include reduced costs, improved productivity, elimination of errors, increased efficiency and, above all, faster return on investment.

We live in an increasingly automated economy. As consumers, we are constantly tracked by digital tools and algorithms. This is an established trend: but is it really progress?
