About automation trends
Is AI in warehouses real or marketing?+
Both. Real and proven: slotting optimization, demand forecasting, vision-based quality control. Still maturing: general-purpose piece picking, autonomous yard trucks. Treat any vendor claim with case-study evidence as a starting point.
What is a digital twin in logistics?+
A live, simulation-grade model of your warehouse fed by real WMS/WCS data. It lets you test layout changes, peak scenarios and automation upgrades without disrupting operations — increasingly mandatory above ~€2 M projects.
Will robots replace warehouse workers?+
Not entirely. Robots replace specific repetitive tasks; humans move to exception handling, supervision and decision-making. Net headcount usually drops 20-40%, while remaining roles become higher-skilled and better-paid.
