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

Optimization of reverse logistics or “returns management” has become, in just a few years, a serious issue for the retail sector in France and Europe, and for e-commerce especially, with an unprecedented boom in online and marketplace sales.

The goods to man method has been used in warehouse logistics for the last thirty years. By bringing the products to the operator, it accelerates the storage and order picking processes. Automation systems (vertical storage carousel, stacker crane, mini-load, shuttle) for high-turnover products have proliferated in the largest European warehouses, and to a lesser extent in France.

The management and replenishment of stock has a direct impact on your company’s cash flow, and also on it’s ability to adapt to demand. Poor management can result in all kinds of problems. That’s why it’s important to manage your stock properly and know which method to use.

Stock management is a key optimization factor for increasing your return on investment.
