Over the years, storing of inventory has evolved in many places by bringing in more accurate, smart and better technology. While warehouse has always been a huge place for not just storing but also for managing continuously moving inventory. Warehouse management has seen many changes among them, smart warehouse is one. This type of warehouse is capable to maintain, store, move and organize huge number of goods with the minimum level of mistakes or any wrong placement.
Warehouse which is enabled with several automated and interconnected technologies which work together to increase the productivity and efficiency of the warehouse as well as minimizing the number of human workers while decreasing errors. It generally relies heavily on robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to allow technology to perform tasks — like managing inventory and locating products around the warehouse.
