It significantly contributes to increasing a company’s performance and competitiveness by enabling accurate planning and the ability to control the distribution of products or services.

TRENDS
The keys to transformation in S&OP
Projections indicate that in the medium term, around 2025, the warehouse automation market will experience significant growth, reaching a market value that could exceed $37.6 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of around 10% from 2021 to 2030. This increase is largely based on the importance of mobile robots, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and automated mobile robots (AMRs), which are used to transport materials and products within warehouses. These robots have the potential to transform warehouse management, improving the accuracy, speed, and efficiency of the operations, which in turn streamlines tasks and reduces human error.
