In the quest to build dynamic and agile distribution centers, analytics, artificial intelligence, and robotics are being used to optimize processes and drive performance. A study of warehousing workers revealed that nearly three out of four floor workers would consider a pay cut to work at a company with better technology, and 90% believe new technology helps attract and retain floor workers. Data science and digital technologies are being used to optimize processes such as product slotting, orchestrate tasks between robots and human workers, provide continual feedback to workers, and keep tabs on performance across facilities.
